The Spin
Right narrative
Kennedy's decision was simple common sense public health policy based on evolving science. It's too bad Panagiotakopoulos disagreed. Healthy children face minimal risk from COVID-19, making broad vaccination recommendations unnecessary. The changes align with what many experts were already considering.
Left narrative
Panagiotakopoulos is right to take a stand after Kennedy's unprecedented bypass of scientific review, which undermines decades of established vaccine policy processes. By removing expert-backed recommendations for the most vulnerable in society, Kennedy is reducing access to insurance coverage and life-saving vaccines.
