The CDC is pulling its Covid-19 vaccine recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced.
The CDC is pulling its Covid-19 vaccine recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced.
Rhetorical question.
CDC also recommends you eat roadkill, take heroin and swim in literal shit
The healthy are just as a risk for contraction - they just might not die right away. They could carry long-covid for years. He doesn’t care. And more remarkably, he’s “trumped” individual decision making (pun very much intended).
Then Canada needs to close its borders to unvaccinated people
RFK Jr. needs to be impeached. He is dangerous, aside from not caring if children, mothers or anyone else dies. A truly sick individual, just like tramp. He kisses tramps behind. Such sick/dangerous men.
Women and children first! Smdh
I've said it once and I'll say it forever, this guy is an absolute imbecile. I will leave the country to get me and my family immunizations. Not vaccinating even 'healthy' people will lead to another epidemic. Just wait. Forking buffoonery.
I hope he is ready to accept responsibility when the deaths begin when a new variant starts to spread.
A man without any experience in vaccine development pulling vaccine recommendations is some fucking third world shit. ITrump voters are complete garbage, and now they are going to get sick.
How fucking stupid!! He’s totally lost his mind!
There are still about a thousand people dying per month from COVID-19 in the USA. We shall see what happens with this new policy. Tock tock.
“I killed them all, of course.”
Because vaccines kill and give you autism and make you woke!
What happened to letting parents decide what is best for their children?
I keep repeating this: RFK,JR IS DANGEROUS AND MUST BE FIRED!!! We need a reliable CDC again. We need scientists. We need vaccines. We need information.
Republicans are a death cult. They want us sick and weak so we can't fight the dictatorship.
Sure. Wait for them to get sick. Then deny them treatment. So much winning.
Always remember Trump’s non action lead to 2 million deaths from Covid.
A reminder that Kennedy has no medical training. None. Nor does Trump.
Based on science 🤡
Why don't someone launch the space shuttle to bring this ass idiot back to earth, second thought leave his ass out there just cut off his comms!
Won’t be taking any advice from him.
I can't even.
Sirhan Sirhan would be better qualified for HHS secretary.
It was just 2 weeks ago that he said people shouldn't take his medical advice when asked about vaccines at a hearing. www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...
Was this recommended by the scientific community/scientific consensus?! Or is it just a Kennedy “I’m-not-a-doctor-but-I-do-sell-quack-remedies-to-fools” whim?
They have preemptively decided just days before the professionals on the ACIP committee meet to make recommendations. I hope the official language says those over 65 yo and with medical conditions should get a COVID vaccine while others may get a vaccine.
But this would mean that those who "may" will not have access to low cost or free vaccines and that health insurance can decline to pay.
I'm beginning to think that, out of all of the truly horrible people in this administration, RFK Jr is the most horrific and dangerous of them.
A total nutjob!
So this is reported by Kennedy and the CDC on X/Twitr? Who even reads the SS that is X. Be responsible - send out a dxxmn press release.
Anyone that gets seriously sick or dies because of this asshole needs to take his ass to the cleaners hes never proved anything of his conspiracy crack pot theories & his anti science !
Well if the brain worm master says so, must be good for us all. Republican party=small government except they want to control everything we do.
Make Americans sick and weak again! How evil you are!
This man is a murderer.
This regime wants us sick, uneducated, divided, distracted, and economically challenged so we won’t pay attention to the reality what is truly happening to our Constitutional rights.
To think it was rich man Rupert Murdoch who began this with Fox News thus beginning the fall of American civilization, collapse of a real democracy and triumph of hate over reason. It's a kind of endarkment.
Agree!
Yea, Rupert Murdock is William Randolph Hearst reincarnated. He will die a super successful failure again
Shame on this idiot
Then the CDC is no longer trustworthy. Oh, wait: RFK Jr. is trying to kill people and should be fired. Today.
Booooooo!
Pregnant people are already at increased risk for Covid complications. www.canada.ca/en/public-he...
The CDC did not make this decision, HE did, against the science. Get it right.
The COVID deaths of any pregnant woman or child who went unvaccinated is now RFK Jr.'s responsibility. And ultimately, Trump's as well.
Tack that on to all the millions of deaths he is already responsible for. He doesn't care.
They don't care
But not for men????? Hmmmmmm.
Ignorance is the mother of natural selection. Glad they're proceeding with this. Is the great covid culling yet to come?
This is so twisted. They’re openly showing they want to kill us in any and every way possible - job losses, no health benefits, no social security, no care for our parents, no education, debt, low wages, no food protections, air travel is unsafe, visas denied, border checks, arresting Americans…
It’s such an appallingly clear lack of giving a shit about the health or wellbeing of anyone who isn’t white and rich. It’s a true sign that MAGA is a cult that there are still people flying their Trump flags as his policies hurt them.
Why would you place importance on statistics about who gets a booster? Should medical and scientific decisions be based on who can afford to get shots or how they feel about vaccines? It is irrelevant and irresponsible to do so. This is a medical decision not a public opinion survey.
Dr. Kennedy strikes again.
Here’s the problem - without the vaccine you have to survive the viral infection 💯 of the time…good luck to kids and women.
Well, they won’t be healthy for long if let it rip is the attitude
If his last name wasn't Kennedy he'd be passed out in an alleyway today.
Yeah.. I can’t see this ending well. See you all at the next pandemic.. 😷
Okay for men though. Fuck huge loser Kennedy.
didn't this guy just last week under oath tell the senate no one should take medical advice from him? (i thought it was odd, at the time)
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Still recommending COVID vacation for majority of population! #covid #usa
Robert F Kennedy is a quack and a prick.
Dude is a total piece of shit
Brainworms Kennedy is going to kill more Americans than Hitler
I'd listen to my motorcycle mechanic for health advice over RFK Brainworms.
www.propublica.org/article/covi...
We need to start daring RFK to do things that are REAL. I say we start clamoring for some FDA inspections that check the level of microplastics in our food and set a limit. This would be a huge threat to the plastics industry and processed food. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
If insurance companies are still paying for it there's a reason. They know it works and vaccines are much cheaper than a hospitalization.
Yup, the financial newspapers still recognize covid as an issue…
It def should. Nothing has chsnged but the reins.
🤬🤬🤬
Medical doctors and all other real Americans (nonconservatives) will and should ignore RFK-jr and ignore any of his orders and continue as usual anyway. RFK is not legally in power.
It's not the cdc. It's the worm.
So does that mean that with all the evidence of protection....if they don't allow access and you get covid, can you sue?
We would probably take advice from RFK Jr. about how to drop a bear carcass in Central Park, since we've never done it before, and he has, but it's a good idea not to take his advice about anything else.
Remember this when we see a repeat of Covid and kids die, remember that no one really believes the hated RFK Jr. is right about anything, and that it endangering children.
Cool. Thank your cult member family members for this at every family gathering.
What shocking information! NOPE, this 🤡 POS is leading health policies in the United States of America That's the shocking part of this 💩 information America, we are in for it for the next 3 1/2 years, it's truly my hope that most of us survive it
This won’t help their population efforts at all. #CootiesGonnaGetcha #ScienceRules #FAFO #DeathCult
MAGA is so dirty.
The easiest way to make healthy children unhealthy is to continually expose them to Covid without being vaccinated.
This man is a disgrace to humanity. He has no qualifications to hold the position he has or experience. He's a conspiracy theorist, and a lying grifter whose misguided decisions are getting people killed. Thank you, weak dishonest cowardly Republican Senators for not defending your own constituents!
Vaccines go to healthy people...
Unreal
Obviously the worm starved to death in that empty noggin of his. Shame really.
Well what did you expect you've got an idiot in the White House you've got an idiot like Kennedy when he starts killing people maybe then they'll rethink it unfortunately people would die because of him they're even hiding e coli right now that broke out I believe in the Midwest no one talks
Does his brain worm still have a home? 😏
Vaccines are how healthy kids stay healthy. Fucking morons
children and babies are going to die.
He just wants to kill people. That's it, that's all.
this regime gets off on killing children
I hope someone is going to keep count of how many US citizens this administration is going to let die due to the cuts and changes to Medicare
They will make sure all records are destroyed and never shown to the public
Robert move on.
First term Trump championed a “ Right to Try” for experimental drugs. It was heralded as patient freedom of choice. I guess that is all out the window.
We no longer recommend oxygen for these three.
Go fuck yourself, RFK Jr.
Fucking play-doh faced moron.
Corrupt bastards
He really is a piece of 💩
RKF jr really did get his brain eaten by worms didn’t he
NOBODY should be taking medical advice from RFKJr www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/rfk...
Didn’t he just say a week or two ago that nobody should be taking health advice from him? Now here he goes ENFORCING his bad advice!
A disproportionate number of women of color and children in underserved communities are going to die just like they did before the vaccine was available. This is in line with the RFKjr Project 2025 “Healthcare” plan… 🤬🤬🤬
Great. One should always take one's medical information from a crazy road-killed worm-brain. Maybe he'll get downed by some disease we'll never see coming, thanks to him...
ONE MORE TIME YOUR NOT A DAMN DOCTOR IM NOT LISTENING TO YOU!!! BEFORE YOU BRING COVID BACK ASS***E!!!
And once again the only winners are the medical insurance companies who will no longer have to cover this. Oligarchs be oligarching.
Remember when right wingers protested mandatory COVID vaccination? They said “my body my choice.” That was a lie.
They also wanted Trump to get credit for Operation Warp Speed in his first term for a vaccine that they now don't want people to use. 🙄
Can we stop giving this brainless trumpsucker airtime?
Hey RFK Jr, remember you are not a physician. Your medical views don't matter.
When will Americans fight against the anti American MAGA movement?
Horrific. SHAME on him/them.
The pregnant woman thing is insane. Covid is extremely dangerous for pregnant women and their babies.
Wait until MAGA kids start dropping dead, who already come from the provincial class that handles snakes and drinks strychnine.
His own aunt Rosemary was lobitomized and hidden from the world and he wants to round up autistic people and put them into camps
What an idiot!
Every person who loses someone to COVID after today because they couldn’t get the vaccine should sue RFK Jr personally for wrongful death. Trump may be able to pardon RFK for murdering us, but he can still be sued into poverty. A disgrace to his father’s name. #CDC
Thank God I live in Canada where health decisions are made by competent health professionals not by idiots like RFK.😡 Just insane and stupid. 🇨🇦🍁
🤬
When all of this turns to _ _ _ _, and Covid once again rears its ugly head, will RFK Jr. blame the brain worm?
Terrible news. The Covid vaccine was proven to protect new born babies from Covid, when the mother is inoculated while pregnant. That’s fact. This decision is not based on science or proper Medical procedures. This is stupid politics. Babies will die. Families will be shattered Stupidity!
I recall reading report about an increase in stillbirths in Covid- infected pregnant women during the height of the pandemic.
Yes! I was coming here to add that! Unvaccinated women who got covid were losing babies and it wasn't infrequent! My god, how quickly we forget!
Make the Republican Senators up in 2026 pay for confirming these clowns.
But it's just a recommendation, right?
Yes, but it's tied to whether the insurance companies will pay for the vaccine.
Glad Kaiser is a non-profit.
#Femicide #Infanticide
He’s not a scientist nor doctor but this ignoramus is making decisions about all of our health. These guys have to go out one way or another. We need to be in the streets by the millions for days! We’re allowing this to happen.
People will die.
People die of all kinds of things, every day. Including covid vaccines. There is legal trouble coming for Pharma and their scientists who fudged the data, and for all the authorities who did not allow people to know what the RISKS of the covid vaccines were.
No that's not accurate. Listen. I don't care if you refuse all medical treatment. That's on you. There's good science behind the Covid vaccines. I want one. I want my family to have them. I'm not concerned that you don't want one. Don't mess with my access.
"not accurate".... You one of those who were happy to FORCE those new and dangerous vaccines on EVERYONE?
I can’t hear you through your tin foil hat.
You still think covid vaccines are "100% safe and effective"? You don't remember how they quickly had to back off of that idiotic statement? Not safe for everyone, not by a long shot!
Not sure what you mean- nothing is 100% safe and effective.
I think we can stop using the CDC for any recommendations one way or the other. No credibility.
What does “healthy” mean? 🧢
I am curious what the recommendations are for the EU?
In UK over 75s have had our free Covid Spring booster. God bless our Social Democracy.
Not because of anything scientific though.
MADA Make America Dead Again
How many will die because of this idiot?
HALLELUJAH
Oh boy, here we go! I hope and pray people don’t listen to this idiotic nonsense from a man who has no background in medicine yet follows pagan ideology
Whoa whoa whoa do not peg this on the pagans. Pagans get vaccines. Pagans invented the original flu vaccine that millions stil get today (the one that people who are allergic to eggs can't get)
Democrats should drag him in front of Congress again.
Stop arguing. They know it will lead to deaths. We all know this. They are doing it so you will focus on this and not everything else. They want you to burn out. That’s why he was hired, he wants to do these things and Trump wants to let him. #resist
Oh, ok. So we’re just gonna pay attention to him like we do Jerry Falwell. Which is to say, not at all.
Get your Covid shot everyone. Young or Old Pregnant or not. Period ! He's a quack with no experience what's so ever.
This just looks like another Republican plan to kill innocent women. COVID puts pregnant women at a greater risk for deep venous thrombosis, a pulmonary embolism, and crunchy placentas. How high should our maternal mortality go up in this country before Republicans care about women dying?
Jail him for murder if anyone dies because of this, execution by lethal injection. The man is a idiot.
He's doing it again, this time on a bigger scale. Unbelievable 😠
More people are going to die. This is horrible.
People will say, "so what". But what this means is insurance won't cover it for those who DO want to vaccinate their children.
When it comes to your health, why not listen to the guy that is not a medical professional, who also told us not to listen to him because he's not a medical professional?
True. If one is fortunate enough to find a caring doctor why would they listen to the government.? After all, one has an abundance of knowledge about the human body, while the other swims in polluted water with children. "Choose wisely", said Death and Disease.
Dude is clueless
This idiot is an embarrassment to himself, his family and America. What do you expect from an administration that's trying to destroy the fabric of Democracy.
CRIMINAL
Even if it's not recommended, can't you still request it?
If you want to pay out of pocket, this will likely lead to insurance refusing to cover it.
@aclu.org
Make the Republican Senators up in 2026 pay for confirming these clowns.
And Democratic Senators. Dens do not deserve control.
I haven't heard this story how can I check it's validity?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_....
The CDC ,loses its credibility each time it agrees with some incredibly harmful action ....this is an excellent example.
God, at this point I hope MAGA doesn’t get vaxxed. It’s their right to choose. We couldn’t deport the number we will sadly bury. It is what it is. Stupid folk make stupid choices. Culling their herd is the least they can do for the rest of us at this point.
Does this mean the vaccine will be harder to get if you’re in this population?
And insurance has a reason to not pay as it is not mandatory or recommended…
LOL EXCELLENT, TERRIFIC 🤡🤪
so.. its,at least, risky..
Ugh. I hate RFK, Jr., and this administration. What a mistake.
What do you expect from a man who took his family swimming in a creek that had sewage in it.
They are killing us.
Can anyone explain why the US President is trying to destroy Harvard? Any normal Head of State would not want to annihilate one of their educational flagships. It's as if Trump is pissed at his own country and intends to destroy a lot that has made America great. In Europe, we don't get it.
I think you answered your own question here..Trump is pissed at his own country & intends to destroy a lot that has made America great. Think a show where someone is wreaking havoc on a town and it turns out some bratty kid got his feelings hurt so as an adult is going to teach everyone a lesson?..
"normal Head of State"
republican party voters are hard core racists, fascists, religious fanatics, or dumb nihilists. Or a mixture of those. They hate education, universities, science, Democracy, or anything else that contradicts their prejudices and hate. Also Harvard rejected barron trumps application. Dumb as daddy.
Because Trump is a fascist who used Elon Musk to steal the 2024 election. Also, Harvard rejected Baron Trump.
he's trying to start a fascist regime here. or more, cement one
“Normal” is doing some heavy lifting there…
Because he was rejected, his spawn was rejected, and they dared to not do exactly as told.
It's scary when one's President is ruling without thought and with mostly emotion and aggression.
Terrifying.
He stated that international students were taking seats away from “Americans who want to go there.” Who wouldn’t be accepted anyway. Also, Republicans have spent decades telling people education is bad, and a waste of money. Except for them and THEIR kids, mind you. THEY don’t want others to
Have what THEY and their CHILDREN have. Harvard has a reputation for looking for underprivileged students who could get in but couldn’t afford it. They don’t want YOUR children to have the same opportunities as THEIR children. They want YOUR children out of school and in coal mines. Literally.
It's sad, because it's true...
republicans intend to destroy EVERYTHING about this country and remake it into an authoritarian dictatorship. Run by them. They SAID that when they gained control of all three branches, they would never let go of that control.
He hates America!
They rejected him and his kid AND they had the nerve to not bow down. No, it doesn’t make sense to us either. If you just think that everything he does is motivated by malice and ignorance, it makes some sort of twisted sense. We’re in real trouble.
And 77 million people actually wanted it and most of them are still cheering him on...
He wants to burn the nation down and rebuild it in his image. White Americans by and large would rather watch it burn than to share an iota of our nations plenty with minorities. Instead, large corporations are stealing it all. The American collapse is in progress.
Trump has been through so much himself, and the only thing I learn or see from him is ignorance, stupidity, anger, hate, and negativity shown in retribution. It's not a pretty sight from Europe. I can only imagine what it is like living in the US, which I will not visit for as long as he's there.
40 years ago, I went to university in Belgium because I wanted intellectual power. I wanted to be smart and, through that, contribute to my country. I went to Notre Dame in South Bend to get a Masters and to the Poznan University to get my PhD. I did it all to make a living and help my country.
The GOP got tired magats being the only voters dying of Covid.
It's Trump's vaccine. Did everyone forget?
CDC pulling recommendations for vaccines means insurance companies will no longer cover the cost for them. Will people be willing or able to pay out of pocket for vaccines?
How do we get rid of this fool?
Ignore this moron.
Shameless and despicable fraud on America by @robertkennedyjr1.bsky.social
Trying to find an answer as to whether that means 1. Vaccine is available but may not be covered by insurance 2. Vaccine is not available at all 3. Vaccine as usual based on patient choice
The COVID vaccine probably won’t be covered by insurance unless you have a pre-existing condition recognized by the CDC. It will also be harder to get because the pharmaceutical companies won’t have incentive to keep producing it. So even if you want it, it’ll be expensive and hard to find.
Already not available at Walmart or Walgreens, not covered by insurance…if you can find it.
He's a killer.
Why? What doctors and scientists told him this was a good idea?
Time for Bobby to go "touch the face of God" as rotten ronnie might have said.
I don't believe a word that comes out of this branch. I 100% believe the truth is the opposite of anything they say.
The CDC is recommending children and pregnant women just get COVID instead.
So , will they be happy when more people die from covid , unnecessarily?
Remember when he lied during his senate hearing and said he wouldn’t change any vaccine guidelines….
Well...I remember thinking that the guy was lying. I realize that about most every Republican..... especially those who kneel to trump. This is why our Supreme Court sucks.....some Justices sworn in to protect our Constitution lied in order to get confirmed. I say..."A Pox on them!"....
youtube.com/shorts/GtyJe...
And new variant from. China have hit New York
Pregnant women are at increased risk of death from the flu that leads to pneumonia.
Only his idiot supporters will believe this is a good idea.
Healthy children can easily get sick when placed around a unhealthy child! Medical Science Class 101. So can pregnant women, teachers, child care workers, and thus, the general public. I really doubt Kennedy has the public interests at heart.
In all fairness, who will take any advice from this weirdo with zero medical training? I’d be curious to see if MD’s will follow his recommendations? I doubt many will.
Well, I guess the doctor has spoken. Oh wait, he’s not a doctor… just another mental patient.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🧢
Republicans neatly nipping natalists in the bud.
This strikes me as a bit pf pearl-clutching. Just because the CDC is not recommending a treatment doesn't mean you can't get it, or that your personal physician won't/can't administer it. What am I missing?
The only ones that would take advice from this idiot are the same people that voted for this administration so fuckem, there is a price to be paid for ignorance.
Psst… Vaccines help healthy people stay healthy. Pass it on.
Kakistocracy at its finest.
Stop Voting for the Republican Party.
