Originally published at: The HHS Appears to Be Prepping for Big Changes to Childhood Vaccine Recommendations - TPM – Talking Points Memo
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has escorted his dangerous vaccine skepticism into the homes of every American through his role as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Now, public health experts and attorneys are worried that Kennedy might do away with effective federal vaccine recommendations altogether. Right now, vaccines are recommended either on…

“Individual autonomy and religious freedom”
F*€# this guy. Nobody is forcing anyone by law to get vaccinated. But if you refuse to vaccinate your kids against diseases they contract and die from, you should be jailed for manslaughter. And if your kids infect other kids who die, same.
In the meantime, medical associations should take junkie-worn-brain to court to stop this nonsense.

RFK Jr. needs to resign or be impeached. He is not an expert on childhood vaccinations nor is Trump. Neither of these men are pediatricians, MD’s, infectious disease experts,and have no advanced degrees in science. They are snake oil salesmen who will cause untold damage to the health of our children and some will die.

Don’t any conservatives see all of this for what it is? What sane country gets rid of its science and medical programs and staff? What sane country, after seeing and living the proof that vaccines save lives and what’s more precious - money - since the early 20th century, and says " Yep, this administration is making life better for wealthy Americans."
Republicans don’t even pretend to care about national security anymore. As long as insider trading keeps the money flowing to their bank accounts, they are fine with this madness.

Mike Johnson Calls for Trump to Get Out of Iran War Now
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told a local television news station in Shreveport, Louisiana, this week that President Donald Trump needs to bring the war in Iran “to a resolution.”
“It’s been a priority and an objective of every administration, for nearly 50 years, to ensure that Iran didn’t have a nuclear capability. Now that’s done. Operation Epic Fury was an epic success,” Johnson said dutifully, later adding

Republicans, project 2025 and the conservative agenda are actively culling the population. Their goal long term is permanent white, Christian conservative domination of the levers of wealth and power. This racist domination garbage is just getting started, after they control all of the narrative, information, data, wealth and power they will use AI to instigate extension level events aimed at eliminating those they find undesirable, minorities, democrats, liberals, critics or anyone who threatens their domination.

Changing the schedule will immediately cut off anything beyond it with Medicaid for children. It will only cover what is on the schedule. I suspect that insurers might go the same way, limiting what they will cover because of the new schedule.
“You can always talk to your child’s doctor and obtain the vaccine” is not the same as having it covered by insurance. And if they continue to force the separation into individual vaccinations instead of MMR? Even the rich kids won’t be covered properly.
I don’t understand this drive to bring back conquered diseases. This isn’t solely aimed at minorities

Until those stories come forward, nothing changes.
What sane country goes to 4 day school weeks? What sane country closes down schools and double ups classrooms in other schools? I am sorry but watching yesterday’s local news I saw stories about both. Why? They don’t bring in enough tax revenue to keep schools open and pay teachers anything, because Republicans had to give tax cuts to rich old men who don’t have kids and don’t give a shit about the future.

Before long, the corporations will divide up the country into ‘spheres of influence’ and discard totally the concept of states. Feudal England, here we come.

The Trump regime is setting back vaccine deployment by decades and engaging countless Americans. This jihad on science and health is unprecedented and so harmful it boggles the mind.

The politics of death at work. Farmers without fuel or fertilizer will see fewer crops harvested; thus less food. Less food aims toward starvation. Starvation plus lack of medical attention: death. Happy times!

RFKjr actively wants all kids to suffer thru disease and have"the strongest survive". I had polio in 1954. It might be instructive for RFKjr to experience the spine pain I deal with daily. Squash his sciatic nerve. See how it feels. Maybe possibly he might learn something about avoiding this outcome. The vaccine for polio became available in 1955.
