Well, it’s not really a mandate, but, when the CDC recommends certain vaccines for children schools tend to listen and require the same
RFK Jr. eyes reversing CDC’s Covid-19 vaccine recommendation for children
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is weighing pulling the Covid-19 vaccine from the government’s list of recommended immunizations for children, two people familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.
The directive under consideration would remove the Covid shot from the childhood vaccine schedule maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and widely used by physicians to guide vaccine distribution, marking Kennedy’s most significant move yet to shake up the nation’s vaccination practices.
Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, has previously questioned the need for kids to get the shot, raising doubts about its safety and citing studies showing healthy children face an extremely low risk of death from Covid.
Eliminating the vaccine from the CDC schedule would not bar kids from receiving it. But the change would represent an extraordinary intervention by Kennedy to override the agency’s scientific decision-making and reverse a recommendation backed by the CDC and a slate of independent advisers just three years ago.
Wow, a lot of crazy to unpack. We’ve learned over the years that the COVID vaccines are anything but, because they mostly fail to stop anyone from actually getting Wuhan Flu. They don’t even really stop people from getting really sick from COVID. And then there are the side effects, that have been published. The CDC hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of science based decision making since COVID started, have they? Recommending everyone wear a mask that wouldn’t stop pollen, much less COVID. Then two masks. We could rehash it all, but, remember, CDC recommendations during COVID were treated like holy writ, and anyone failing to follow them was branded a heretic. And the CDC simply made pronouncements without bothering to inform the public what the science said, without really going through a scientific process.
The removal would also likely influence vaccination procedures across the nation. Pediatricians rely on the CDC schedule to determine which vaccines they should give children and when to administer them, in order to protect against a range of common infectious diseases.
The schedule is also closely watched by insurers in deciding which vaccines to cover, as well as states and localities that determine which vaccines schools require for students — though no states currently mandate the Covid shot.
The COVID jabs were experimental, and the CDC has not performed a true, full, scientific investigation into the full responses to the jabs, unlike those drugs in the annoying ads on TV and radio (seriously, why would you take a drug if you are allergic?). Unlike all the other vaccinations that are recommended for kids.
Kennedy and his allies also believe that yanking the vaccine off the CDC schedule would rally voters who gravitated to Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement over their distrust of the government’s Covid response and his vows to scrutinize the government’s vaccine policies. Kennedy has criticized the independent panels that advise the CDC and other agencies on vaccines, accusing them of being captured by the pharmaceutical industry despite clear conflict-of-interest guardrails.
They do? Any evidence of this? That would be a no. Not one shred is offered by Politico.
Just 13 percent of children have gotten the latest Covid shot, according to the most recent CDC data. And after Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, turned the pandemic response into an increasingly partisan issue, states have veered away from efforts to require it.
So, the vast majority of doctors are not giving it, probably just those who were driven moonbat and wear masks in their own cars, or the parents, primarily left wing wackos, who wear masks in their cars.
Yet the change, if finalized, would still likely prompt opposition from public health experts and Kennedy skeptics who worry it could further undermine faith in vaccines and open the door to more drastic changes to the childhood schedule.
Doubtful. No one is going to stop giving their kids vaccines for polio, mumps, measles, chicken pox, etc, because most are rational and do not trust the COVID “vaccine”. Polio works. Get the schedule of shots and the kid will never get it. Because it is a vaccine. The Wuhan Flu vaccine is not much better than a placebo. It would be wonderful if it worked. But, let’s not forget that the Powers That Be said you’d get your life back if you took it, but, after you did take it, you didn’t get your life back.
And while children are perhaps the group least at risk from Covid, CDC data show more than 1,800 kids have died from the disease, with hundreds of thousands more hospitalized.
And the “vaccine” didn’t stop it. COVID19 is something we all have to learn to live with. If it worked like the flu vaccines, which are recommended by the CDC, sure. But, it doesn’t.
However, RFK, Jr, is still a nut, and, I’ve always said he’s a nut
But, a nut is still right now and then.
