RFK Jr. Says COVID Shot Will No Longer Be Advised For Healthy Kids, Pregnant Women

Prior to his confirmation as HHS secretary, the vaccine skeptic insisted he didn't want to take vaccines away.
In Donald Trump’s America, you don’t have the freedom to decide if you can get a COVID booster or not.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that, effective immediately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would no longer recommend kids and pregnant women get regular COVID-19 boosters.
Kennedy made the announcement via a 58-second video on social media, flanked by National Institutes of Health director Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Marty Makary, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
Notably absent: anyone actually from the CDC, the government agency that issues immunization schedules. The agency is currently operating without an acting director.
The new advice seems to be undercut by Makary himself, who co-authored an article in the New England Journal of Medicine last week that listed “pregnancy and recent pregnancy” as underlying medical conditions that increase the risk of severe COVID-19, and should therefore get COVID boosters.
