The HHS head should have no place making vaccine policy decisions unilaterally. Especially when we have actual, you know, EXPERTS who serve that roll (ACIP). Not a lawyer with no medical training. I’m worried it’s a test case - if this works, it’s HPV and MMR next.

RFK JR IS NOT A PHYSICIAN!! He doesn't have much, or any, formal medical training. Has he ever held a Red Cross First Aid card? A CPR card? If he starts making medical decisions or medical advice, it's illegal. I think he could end up in legal trouble if he does.

Kennedy lies incessantly and hes illiterate.The removal would 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

Most parents are smarter than listening to RFK Jr. Those not, sorry for your children. Keep up the vaccinations. You know it has kept your children healthy all of their years. In my 70's and they have kept me alive and illness free and very healthy. You have to take responsibility for your family.
