- Children’s Hospital Colorado has vaccinated over 18,000 pediatric patients under deep sedation or general anesthesia during surgical procedures since 2020.
- The practice targets children with neurocognitive conditions who cannot tolerate awake vaccinations.
- Medical literature warns vaccine reactions can be mistaken for surgical complications, creating diagnostic confusion.
- Parental consent obtained in high-pressure preoperative settings raises concerns about truly informed decision-making.
- Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s similar program vaccinated 2,054 children and is now exploring expansion to COVID-19 and RSV shots.
A March 2026 publication in the American Academy of Pediatrics journal revealed that anesthesiologists Drs. Caroline A. Pasquariello and Kim M. Strupp documented a program at Children’s Hospital Colorado—running from 2020 through early 2026—where more than 18,000 pediatric patients, particularly those with neurocognitive conditions, were administered vaccines under deep sedation or general anesthesia without clear documentation of risks, a practice that directly contradicts the principle of informed consent when families are led to expect transparency for their non-verbal children.
This follows a parallel program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, which injected 2,054 children with flu vaccines during the 2025-2026 season, all occurring against the backdrop of manipulated hospitalization data—such as the May 19 Hospital Pediatrics papers proving at least 40% overcounting of pediatric COVID admissions—which artificially inflated the perceived risks of the virus to justify these aggressive, non-consensual injections, ultimately serving the pharmaceutical industry’s profit motive and the globalist depopulation agenda while exposing children to documented harms including heart inflammation, sudden death and other severe adverse events far outweighing any claimed benefit from the virus itself.
The consent question
Parents arrive for their child’s surgery exhausted and frightened. They absorb complex anesthesia risks while preparing a hungry, anxious child for an operating room. At this moment, hospital staff present vaccine discussions. This is not informed consent in any meaningful sense, according to multiple physicians who have spoken about the issue in recent years.
