Vaccines have largely destroyed the historical curse of child death.
Ignorant opportunist Kennedy, grandson of a bootlegger nazi-lover and eugenist, will have the blood of millions on his hands....
On Tuesday, Kennedy, flanked by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) head Marty Makary and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Jay Bhattacharya, announced that he “couldn’t be more pleased” that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccinations for healthy children over the age of 6 months as well as healthy pregnant women. The decision was made without consultation with the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the expert panel which typically sets vaccine recommendations after a careful review of research data.
While vaccines against COVID-19 are still recommended for children and women with underlying health conditions, it is unclear if those shots will continue to be covered by government healthcare programs or private insurance. The loss of coverage, meaning it would be necessary to pay out of pocket, would put vaccines out of reach for the poor.
Kennedy’s announcement was aimed at further undermining confidence in the vaccines, which have been delivered in billions of doses globally and have saved tens of millions of lives. Research has shown that the shots developed in the first year of the pandemic, two of which from Pfizer and Moderna successfully deployed revolutionary mRNA technology, have immense health benefits with minimal side effects.
The removal of guidance protecting society’s most vulnerable—infants and expectant mothers—from COVID-19 will condemn countless lives to suffering and death. The consequences of undermining access to and public trust in vaccines will be disastrous. Mass vaccination campaigns aimed at eradicating an array of diseases, including measles, smallpox and polio, were one of the great advances for humanity in the 20th century. Now diseases like measles are making a resurgence in the US under Kennedy at the helm of public health.
On Wednesday, Moderna announced that HHS is pulling millions of dollars in research funding it had pledged to give the company to develop an mRNA vaccine to protect against the H5N1 “bird flu” in humans. HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon justified the decision with the false claim that “mRNA technology remains under-tested.” This takes place under conditions in which numerous scientists have warned that H5N1, which historically has a 50 percent fatality rate among humans, requires only one mutation to develop the capacity for human-to-human transmission.
Kennedy’s other anti-science initiatives at HHS include a threat to ban federally funded scientists from publishing in preeminent, peer-reviewed medical journals, including The Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA, which he denounced as “corrupt”; seeking to block the culling of a herd of ostriches in Canada which tested positive for bird flu after proposing to let the disease spread freely in the United States; and boosting “alternative” treatments for measles and the “healers” who deploy them, including a doctor who appeared on video with a measles infection while treating sick patients.
An official Make American Healthy Again (MAHA) report presented by Kennedy to Trump last week was found to have cited fake sources and mis-cited others. The report denounces the “overmedicalization of our kids,” taking specific aim at the childhood vaccine schedule, along with medications commonly used to treat depression and anxiety, which Kennedy has falsely claimed are behind rising rates of autism and other developmental disorders.

Rescinding COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, RFK Jr. escalates assault on science and public health
With COVID-19 still an ongoing global threat, Kennedy's policies are not only dangerously anti-scientific but actively calculated to deepen inequality and accelerate mass death in order to drive down the life expectancy of the working class and funnel billions from social programs into the...
