Dr. Dave Weldon, who is also a former United States Congressman, joined filmmaker Claire Dooley at the Children’s Health Defense 2025 Conference to discuss the health bureaucracy. He explained that agencies like the CDC have been going against the majority of parents’ wishes on vaccine schedules and aggressively pushed for the COVID-19 vaccine.“Could you share with some of our viewers what your background is? You are originally an internal medicine doctor?” Dooley asked.“I practiced internal medicine in Florida for several years before I got elected to the US House. I retired from the US House and then went back to my practice, and I’m still practicing part-time now. I served in Congress for 14 years. I was on the health committee. We oversaw the CDC. That’s how I got to know Bobby Kennedy,” Weldon said.Dr. Weldon explained that he was being considered for the position as director of the CDC, but he believed that pharma interests put pressure on some Republican Senators to vote against him.“Bobby Kennedy asked President Trump to appoint me to be director of the CDC, and my nomination was pulled because of opposition of a few Republicans in the Senate, who I believe were under a lot of pressure from pharma,” Weldon continued.“I want your opinion on the current childhood vaccine schedule,” Dooley asked.“I think there are a lot of problems with it,” Weldon said.“For example, 90 percent of parents are refusing to do the covid vaccines for their kids. 90 percent. And when you have an institution like the CDC working in lockstep with the American Academy of Pediatrics and academics at all of our major medical schools throughout the country, out of step with 90 percent of the American people, you really, really have a very, very, big problem,” Weldon continued.“In surveys, 80 percent of Republicans and 40 percent of Democrats don’t trust the recommendations coming out of the CDC,” Weldon explained.“You are considered a doctor with a problem if your approval rating is 90 percent. Most doctors, those surveys come back, 98 percent, 97 percent are satisfied with their doctors,” Weldon explained.Dr. Weldon said that the mistrust in the CDC is evident in how low the approval percentages are for the agency.“You’ve got a major health organization in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control, a government agency, where somewhere between 40 and 80 percent of people don’t trust it; that’s bad. That is really bad,” Weldon explained.It is a dangerous thing when a bureaucracy simply ignores the elected officials in the United States Congress. They are going against the will of the people.“These agencies will ignore the Congress. They frequently do on a regular basis,” Weldon said.Watch:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u5v3ht"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v6z8egy","div":"rumble_v6z8egy"});The post Dr. Dave Weldon at Children’s Health Defense 2025 Conference on the Health Bureaucracy – “These Agencies Will Ignore the Congress.
