apnews.com Kennedy says panel will examine childhood vaccine schedule after promising not to change it

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told agency employees that a commission formed by President Donald Trump will investigate the childhood vaccine schedule.

Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., newly appointed as U.S. health secretary, pledged to Sen. Bill Cassidy that he would not alter the federal childhood vaccine schedule.

However, in his first address to Health and Human Services (HHS) employees, he announced an investigation into childhood vaccines.

The inquiry, under Trump’s new "Make America Healthy Again" commission, raises concerns about his commitment.

Critics, including vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit, question his stance, fearing policies that could undermine vaccine accessibility.

Oh, look, he purjured himself just like everyone knew he did and fuck all is going to be done about it.
Honestly, for being the party that claims to be about morals and values and saving the kids, they set a pretty bad example. They show that you can just lie and lie and lie so long as it is in service of the right agenda.

Really glad that a fucking ghoul from the Fallout universe is in charge of our health

Psychotic brain worm drug addict lied in job interview.

Kind of ballsy of him to do so, considering the current measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico.

- The word you're looking for isn't "ballsy": it's "crazy". As in brain-eating-worm-crazy.
  
  Balsy? Crazy? I say: expected.

No more TDAP! Funerals are cheaper!

Jesus Christ At least my youngest just got her 12 month shots, so should be good for the rest of this administration, or lack of administration
- Me too, kind of perfect timing although if I'm being honest, changes are it just ends up being optional but recommended by anyone with a brain. There's no way my pediatrician wouldn't stick to the current schedule.
  
  But vaccines aren't 100% effective. Herd immunity depends upon a certain percentage of the population getting the vaccination. If not enough people are vaccinated, then the diseases will be able to find enough hosts to spread, and people who could not be vaccinated or for whom the vaccine was ineffective are at risk.
  So your child will have a chance of contracting measles or polio, etc. because of idiots who choose not to vaccinate their children.

Yet again I'm extremely glad that I've decided not to breed.
