U.S. federal procurement records published in June 2026 show that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded Pfizer more than $1.24 billion in contracts for adult and pediatric mRNA COVID-19 shots for fiscal years 2026 and 2027. The contracts, which were published on SAM.gov and contained more money allocated for pediatric COVID shots than adult COVID shots, were issued June 1, 2026 through the CDC Office of Acquisition Services. Those contracts include a pediatric contract totaling $735,720,598 and an adult contract totaling $505,272,000.1 2
SAM.gov, which stands for System for Award Management, is the official U.S. government website managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) where entities register to bid on federal contracts, do business with the government, and search federal assistance listings.3
The pediatric contract exceeds the amount of the adult contract by more than $230 million, despite children being at significantly lower risk for complications from SARS-CoV-2 infections than adults.4 The procurement records provide no explanation or justification for the awards or why demand for pediatric mRNA COVID shots would warrant a significantly larger contract than one for adults.1 2
Pediatric Contract Exceeds Adult Contract by $230 Million Even Though SARS-CoV-2 Infections are Asymptomatic or Mild in Children
Public health officials and published research over the past several years have found that SARS-CoV-2 infections in most children are asymptomatic or mild. This is thought to be due to children having a faster, more robust early immune response which prevents the virus from progressing into severe infections seen in adults that may require hospitalization. Healthy children also do not suffer from chronic health problems like obesity or diabetes that make SARS-CoV-2 infections for adults more dangerous. Further, some research indicates that children have fewer viral receptors, such as ACE2, in their mucosal nasal tissues, making it harder for SARS-CoV-2 to latch on compared to adults, although researchers note this remains a hypothesis rather than a confirmed finding.5 6 7
Despite evidence of much milder or asymptomatic infections in children, the CDC recommended COVID shots for children in 2022 and then added them to the CDC recommended childhood vaccine schedule in early 2023 for infants as young as six months old.8
These recommendations were later changed in the fall of 2025 when the CDC applied “individual” or “shared” decision-making to adult and childhood vaccination schedules, among other updates, such as recommending toddlers receive the live virus varicella (chickenpox) vaccine as a standalone vaccination rather than in the combination live virus measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccination. The CDC states that “the combination vaccine doubles the risk of febrile seizures without conferring additional protection from varicella compared to standalone vaccination.”9
“Informed consent is back,” Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill said in response to the changes. O’Neill, also the acting Director of the CDC at the time, continued, “CDC’s 2022 blanket recommendation for perpetual COVID-19 boosters deterred health care providers from talking about the risks and benefits of vaccination for the individual patient or parent. That changes today.” O’Neill further commended the doctors and public health experts of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for educating Americans about vaccine safety signals documented in manufacturer package inserts, published peer-reviewed research, and consumer self-reporting databases such as VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System).9

Blank Contract Descriptions and No Data on Quantities or Anticipated Demand, Effectiveness and Safety
Independent investigative reporter Jon Fleetwood raised several concerns about the transparency of the federal funds directed to Pfizer for mRNA COVID shots in a June 11, 2026 Substack post, noting that the procurement records included blank contract descriptions and offered “no explanation for the spending.” Fleetwood wrote that the filings provided no data on projected dose quantities, anticipated demand, effectiveness, or safety considerations to justify the $1.24 billion allocated toward COVID shot purchases for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, and separately stated that the pediatric contract exceeded the adult contract by more than $230 million despite children facing substantially lower risk from the virus.10
Fleetwood additionally flagged that the substantial $1.24 billion allocation comes as more Americans “increasingly reject COVID vaccines” and there is declining uptake among the general public as the “debate over the risk-benefit profile of repeated vaccination, particularly for healthy children” is not going away.10
Fleetwood said:
Only 9% of children are reported by the CDC to be up to date with the 2025─26 COVID-19 vaccine, emphasizing the low demand among the young demographic. Just 3.0% of parents say they even plan to vaccinate their child. The same report shows only 17% of adults received the 2025─26 COVID-19 vaccine.¹⁰
Poll: More Than Half of Voters Think COVID-19 Shots “May Have Killed Many People”
Rasmussen Reports, an electronic media company that conducts national tracking surveys on political, economic and lifestyle issues, reports that, according to a recent poll it conducted, more than half of voters think COVID-19 shots “may have killed many people.” The Rasmussen Reports polling report, which Fleetwood also included in his article, states, “The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 56% of anticipated U.S. voters consider it “Likely” that side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have caused a significant number of unexplained deaths, including 32% who believe it’s “Very Likely.” Thirty-five percent said it’s “Not Likely” there were significant deaths from COVID-19 vaccines, including 17% who think it’s “Not At All Likely.” These findings have changed little since September 2024.”11
In a post on his Focal Points Substack, epidemiologist Nicholas Hulsher commented on the $1.8 billion award to Pfizer. He wrote;
While demand has collapsed, CDC officials continue to lock in hundreds of millions of dollars in future purchases of the mRNA COVID shots for both infants and adults through its regular procurement channels. Our public health agencies are doubling down after getting caught covering-up 25 major safety signals — including sudden death. Instead of accountability, we are watching billions of dollars being funneled into the same gene-transfer products that have injured, disabled, or killed millions of innocent Americans.12
Health Secretary Kennedy Disputes Significance of mRNA COVID Shot Contracts
U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., commenting on the publicly available records, says the government has not completed the purchases for COVID shots. He wrote in a June 18 post on X:
The claim that CDC has already spent $1.24 billion on COVID-19 vaccines is simply wrong. HHS and CDC have not purchased COVID-19 vaccines for the upcoming respiratory season and have made no decisions regarding future purchases. IDIQ contracts allowing future orders are not the same as spending taxpayer dollars.13

So….Liability Protection for IG Farbin NAZI Bayer’s Glyphosate & MORE DANGEROUS Eugenic mRNA Gene Therapy Shots for our Future Generation & the continued attempts at PERMANENTLY DAMAGING the GENOMICS of the Human Species on this planet?!?!?
Sounds like more of the SAME and an ILLUSION of CHANGE, just like Obama did ONLY WORSE!!!!
When will THEY realize people will only take so much, especially if THEY keep screwing with peoples KIDS!!!
REMEDY will come even if our courts are BROKEN/Captured by Psychopaths & it won’t be by a fountain pen.
Peace All
Insanity unveiled!
People will have to resist and protect their own children as well.
NO MANDATORY VACCINES!!!
More proof that true science in medicine is dead and we live in a medical dictatorship.
I thought Kennedy would take care of this shit. Wtf?
Read Kennedys remark at the end of the article. I was concerned too.
This is complete insanity and further proof that the embedded people and practices remain the same despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary!
This is the opposite of MAHA.
Talking in these companies preferred bureaucratic language about health risk benefit analysis is exactly where they want the people to be. Stuck in the never ending maze of debates and investigations, committees that are slow walked to the point of going absolutely nowhere, permanently.
Meanwhile the taxpayer dollars keep flowing in the door. Don’t be naive about what’s happening here. You’re observing institutionalized fraud and embezzlement without regard to human health at truly epic levels. They could care less if the product is harmful or not. They’ve superseded the free market with a captured audience whom is forced to pay and pay again for products they do not want, do not need, and never asked for in the first place.
However; (article quote) Thirty-five percent said it’s “Not Likely” there were significant deaths from COVID-19 vaccines, including 17% who think it’s “Not At All Likely.” (end quote). 52%, not bad. The propaganda is still quite effective. The more vaccines and pharmaceuticals the people take, the more IQ points they lose, the more addled their minds become, the propaganda becomes even more effective. They’ve manufactured true cult member zealots whom honestly do believe. Billions of them. Nearly two hundred million right here in this country.
Your tax dollars, hard at work. Even most of the zealots would not pay their own money out of their own pockets for these products though. A captured market with illogical relationships of supply and demand principals. Taxation without representation. Socialism. A private partnership between corrupt government interests and corporations whom pull the strings of government. Usurping the principals of representative governance. Fascism.
It’s all right in front of the people for the world to see and understand, if they’d only open their eyes to understand the truth of what’s happening. Where is Javier and Musk with the chainsaws when you need them? The story is incomplete. Are they spending the money on this or are they not?
2015, things changed. Planned pandemics were solidified as a business model in ways never previously thought possible. Remember the date. HFDF did a deep dive into this and this is a must read for people interested in the truth. How plandemics became a business model. It’s only a matter of time now before it happens again. The signs and activity is beyond obvious. They don’t care about public health one single iota. Framing the issues of pollution and suppression of peoples rights as a public health crisis is what allows the waste fraud and abuse to continue. Get your mind around the lies because they are truly so epic. These people belong in prison. Stop talking in their language and operating by their rules.

In other happenings; The state of Colorado just took the vaccination opt out class from ten minutes to over an hour long. With a special disclaimer the video contains images some may find upsetting. There are a myriad of new technical faults too, which obviously are there to deter people from getting through the entire thing. It’s especially slow and draining now. Absolutely wonderful. Thought reconditioning and fear mongering for all parents whom simply say no to vaccines. Only took them a few short years to totally abuse the opt out program. That’s how communists and new socialists operate though; With constant heavy handed suppression, coercion, instilling fear with no respect for peoples sovereign independent choices. Frame it as; ‘Education’. They’ve stolen the vote in this state for decades. But for anyone wanting their own or families opt out for education in Colorado, it’s quite simple, just get through the class and fill out the form. The now hour long class with technical faults is especially devious because if you do anything wrong in the end, there is no record of taking the class, and you have to sit through the entire thing again to access the opt out forms.
At some point someone is going to get the bright idea of photo shopping the forms they got from the previous years, making minor changes the childrens grade level and year of opt out statement, turning that in instead, and skipping the entire thing… Unlike what these companies are doing, constant felonious activity, it’s not a crime to make your own independent decisions about vaccination or skip the class and still file the opt out. That’s not a crime. The entire enforcement apparatus which seeks to compel ‘mandatory vaccination’ is one big illusion. We will not comply.

They are NOT listening.
This should terrify absolutely everybody.
NO MANDATORY VACCINES!!!
A HUGE ripoff for Americans. The people who enabled this should be taken away in chains.
Sadly, the CDC IS SO CORRUPT, and hasn’t learned a thing from the past!
It is often repeated that: “You can vote your way into communism, but you have to shoot your way out.” Now we are discovering that the same holds true for our ‘government’ psyop.
So how does one find out more on this? I’ve had family that has passed away because of this garbage.
In 2032 Social Security will be depleted,a fund that American workers were forced to contribute to, but we taxpayers are being forced to turn over 1.2 BILLION of our hard earned taxes to companies making obscenely huge profits making dangerous products that could kill us. I rarely ever swear but WTF?
What are they going to do with all the extra ones they’re going to have???
These Bas****s need to be put down for the mad dogs they are.
We need to stop sending these organizations our money, and get rid of them. Vaccines cause death. God made our bodies capable to fight diseases.
Well said! Naturally acquired immunity is far superior to vaccines. God has designed our bodies capable to fight diseases through proper nutrition. That’s why He made plants available for us to consume. Vaccines are human made via synthetic methods in laboratory. I’m not anti science, but I’m against when they refuse to compare vaccinated vs unvaccinated people. Where is the science of unvaccinated people???!! Dr. Mike needs wake up and do the d—— research.
what happened to doge getting rid of waist, fraud and abuse.
No longer recommended for children onder 65 years. so why buy something we shouldn’t use 🤔
the article lacks perspective.
how much did CDC spend last year.
did Pfizer raise the price?
how many vaccines were unused?
or when did we run out?
What age for child vaccines?
with change in recommendation we can expect 30% decrease.
if we run out in December, everyone that really wanted will get. while the ones that wait can’t be required.
