US vaccine recommendations are in limbo, access to vaccines is suffering, and some of the uncertainty may continue for years following major blows to vaccination by the Trump administration, experts say.
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has made sweeping changes to vaccination policy, cutting childhood immunization recommendations by a third and replacing experts on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) with his own handpicked allies.
A judge’s order halted these changes because they were not done correctly, but Kennedy has not nominated any new ACIP members – which means there are no new vaccination recommendations coming from the committee, even as new vaccines are approved.
Well, if the US “needs” no vaccines, the more for us. Given the amount of farming in the US with shockinly low hygienic standards, and the lack of food safety control, this is a catastrophy waiting to happen. America sees this just as good business for hospitals, just like COVID was: while patients and employees suffered, the 10000 per day beds made good profits for some…
I bet the American rich just do trips to foreign countries to get their share of vaccinations.
It’s not like he hasn’t deliberately killed people before.
Vaccines are one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine. Republicans think, “Make them a profit center.”
“Vaccines are more cost-effective than getting the flu,” Kroening said. He said he still would choose the new vaccine despite the co-pay. “I’m able to pay the $40, and I’m happy I did, but still not happy that insurance didn’t cover it,” he said.
A lot of the anti-vaxx dingbats think they are already a profit-center for “big pharma”.
When one learns about what went into something like mRNA it’s like a modern-day moonshot, and all these fucking backwards idiots can do is make up stupid stories to swap with other stupid people about how it’s a “plandemic” and the vaccine is a “clot shot”.
FFS.
H5N1 is going to tear through this country, and the US will be the only place that doesn’t have a vaccine. That is intentional. Part of the ongoing Republican effort to kill anyone they label as weak.
Ironically, it will probably be them that die in greater numbers.
With no vaccine, we will all be on the menu.
I cannot wait to reverse the idiotic policies from these brainless morons.
Youll be waiting a long time
I want to believe the Ratchet Effect won’t apply here, but I’ve been hurt before.
