RFK Jr. Against COVID Shots for Children, Pregnant Women: Experts Outraged
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the removal of COVID-19 vaccines from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule for healthy pregnant women and children. This decision, supported by Dr. Marty Makary and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, reflects a shift in COVID-19 vaccine policy. The FDA concurrently announced an overhaul of its COVID-19 vaccine approval process, potentially limiting future vaccinations to higher-risk groups. While the online schedule remained unchanged at the time of the announcement, the change marks a significant departure from previous recommendations. Pregnant women and children with underlying conditions remain at higher risk for severe COVID-19.
