The move ends the CDC’s booster recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women, bypassing norms
The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, announced that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would remove Covid-19 booster shots from its recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women.
Legal experts said the Trump administration appointee’s decision, which Kennedy announced on social media, circumvented the CDC’s authority to recommend such changes – and that it is unprecedented for a health secretary to unilaterally make such a decision.
Removing the booster shot from the recommended immunization schedule could make it more difficult to access – and it could affect private insurers’ willingness to cover the vaccine. About half of Americans receive healthcare through a private insurance company.
Such a unilateral change is highly unusual if not unprecedented for a typical US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. And it could leave the HHS department open to litigation, said one vaccine law expert.
I thought he said we shouldn’t take medical advice from him
My thoughts exactly!
DEATH CULT.
Didn’t he tell us to not take his medical advice? Like… Let’s just… Not?
If you’re ever doubting yourself, just remember you’re probably smarter than the President and the secretary of health
If you ever read the education or skill requirements on a job listing and think you aren’t qualified for the role, just remember that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, twice. There’s no such thing as unqualified.

Let’s litigate the shit out of him personally and professionally. This is a major class action suit, I would suspect.
This fall is going to be absolutely terrible when cold season starts.
Survival Of The Fittest. I’m pretty sure Jesus said that somewhere.
