A federal judge rightly blocked RFK Jr.'s reckless overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule, ruling the moves were likely illegal. Kennedy's hand-picked ACIP lacked scientific credibility and bypassed standard expert review entirely. Protecting kids from preventable diseases isn't political — gutting evidence-based vaccine policy with no data, no expert input and no public comment is dangerous.
A single unelected judge in Massachusetts just overruled elected leaders trying to reform a bloated vaccine schedule — that's not democracy, that's judicial activism protecting pharmaceutical interests. The ruling doesn't reflect final law and will be appealed and overturned. American children deserve leaders empowered to make real change, not a system rigged to keep the bio-pharmaceutical complex untouchable.
The lesson here is educate yourself and don’t look to the government or @AmerAcadPeds for health advice. We should abolish the CDC, but the next best step is to completely ignore it.
There's a 50% chance that a universal flu vaccine will be available by February 2031, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
