WOW!

Is this really the United States of America?????
Just a reminder that metmike IS A SCIENTIST! I'm extremely familiar with how effective these vaccines are and what minimal risks they pose. Kennedy is an anti vaccine nut case.
Alot of people will get very sick with diseases and illnesses because of him. Some will die.
Scientists predict increased disease outbreaks after Trump officials no longer recommend third of childhood vaccines
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/07/us-vaccine-schedule-guidelines-change
The bombshell announcement that the Trump administration no longer fully recommends a third of childhood vaccines means the US moved from leading globally on vaccination to lagging behind other high-income nations in preventing disease, experts say.
The move is the latest and most significant escalation against vaccines from Robert F Kennedy Jr, a longtime vaccine skeptic and current secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“It’s the largest change in our vaccination schedule in modern American history,” said Jake Scott, infectious diseases specialist and clinical associate professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
It is an “astounding” decision made without scientific evidence or public input that will worsen vaccine access and increase disease outbreaks, said Daniel Jernigan, former director of the National Center for Emerging Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
US health officials, led by Kennedy, “want fewer vaccines”, Jernigan said, adding that they’re inflating the risks while burying the benefits of vaccines and “sowing confusion” for parents and providers.
Officials also bucked the established scientific process in making the decision, with no public comment, no discussion from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), and no feedback from outside scientists or professional groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), Jernigan said.
“We have a sweeping health policy that has no public engagement,” he said, noting that the process for making transparent decisions on vaccines was established long ago, yet “this administration just refuses to use the process”.
Scott echoed that concern, calling it “very concerning” and “very ominous” that these “changes weren’t voted on”, “weren’t debated in public” and “weren’t subjected to the evidence-to-recommendation framework that ACIP uses”.
Instead, the administration released a 33-page report from Tracy Beth Høeg, a frequent vaccine skeptic and now the top regulator of drugs at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Martin Kulldorff, a biostatistician who was briefly an ACIP adviser before being appointed to the HHS.
“It lists two authors, which is very odd – to have a sweeping document that leads to significant policy change list two authors,” Jernigan said. “You end up with what is really an opinion piece.”
The announcement itself lacked transparency. A small group of journalists was selected by HHS to be briefed about the changes on Monday; the Guardian was not invited.
Officials constantly monitor vaccines for potential safety signals, and no new evidence about potential harms have been made public.
“The science hasn’t changed. The only thing that’s changed is who’s making the decisions and what conclusions they want to reach,” Scott said.
Such unscientific changes will have outsized harm, Jernigan said, adding: “We cannot let this be the new normal of what the government’s doing, because the government’s basically saying ‘just quit listening to me from now on.’ It’s really unfortunate.”
He hopes patients will continue seeking out vaccines, and providers will continue to recommend them: “You don’t want to be that parent of a child who [goes] to a college where they have a meningitis outbreak and then ends up losing a limb or dying.”

There are hundreds of articles and videos like this from rock solid scientific and medical authorities. How is it possible in 2026, during the age of advanced medicine, vaccination science and virology that 1 person can be put in charge that sets the policies backwards and damages the confidence(and behavior) in sound science for tens of millions of Americans?
I considered the possibility that vaccines might actually increase the chance of autism and/or have serious negative health consequences in a significant portions of people.
It seems like can always find a study somewhere with outlier results that support whatever it is that you want to believe in.
It appears the there is 1 fatally flawed study with 8 children in 1998 that has been completely debunked by many, MANY legit scientific studies.
