RFK, Jr's War on Children Rolls On

There was no call for public comment, and pharmaceutical companies were not consulted and asked to weigh-in on the matter.   The scientific community was not polled, and there were no requests for research.  Family physicians were not surveyed.

Yesterday the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), under the direction of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, announced the immediate implementation of a new schedule of childhood vaccinations.  The new schedule recommends that the 17 vaccinations the agency had been recommending for children be reduced to eleven - a move that is in line with Kennedy's long-standing desire to reduce the number of shots children receive.

The vaccinations being removed from the recommended list include those for rotavirus, influenza, meningococcal disease, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hepatitis A, and hepatitis B.  

In making these drastic cuts to the list of recommended pediatric vaccines, the CDC was responding to a Trump mandate that they look at the recommended vaccination lists of other countries, particularly Denmark, and bring US recommendations more in line with those.  The new US list apparently mirrors that of Denmark.

It is unclear at this point, at least to this scribe, why Denmark's list should be regarded as scientifically superior to the original list developed by US researchers and physicians.

Again, the new shot regimen announced yesterday by the CDC and put into immediate effect sought no input from parents, the pharmaceutical industry, or even (apparently) scientific researchers and practicing family physicians..  A group of political operatives just xeroxed the plans of another country and announced they were now in effect here.

The kids are not alright.  They are being abused by the American political system and are doomed to suffer.

Facebook conspiracy theories are ridiculous and highly dangerous substitutes for quality medical research,  They place our children's health and their very lives at risk.

Congress needs to act immediately to impeach RFK, Jr, and remove him as head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  His continuing presence as the head of that department places children in a dangerous situation and at risk of harm.
