RFK Jr. is not wasting time to review vaccine policies against childhood

Well, it didn’t take long. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the newly reduced director of the Ministry of Health and Human Services, has already signaled that he may try to change the country vaccination graphics for children.

RFK -Jr. made the remarks during his speech At a ceremony held on Tuesday, he welcomed him as the new HHS secretary. He has announced that he will form a committee to study the graphics of the vaccine in childhood as a possible factor for increasing chronic diseases in Americans, among other supposedly “taboo” topics. Kennedy appears to promise Republican legislators that it will not change the current vaccine recommendations established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To make it clear, RFK, Jr. did not explicitly say that it would change the vaccination schedule, but by creating this committee, it laid the foundations for this opportunity.

Last Thursday, Kennedy obtained The blessing of the Senate for his nomination for HHS in voting on the party order (Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican “no”); Later on the same day, he officially took an oath as a new leader of the Federal Agency, which runs the CDC, the Food and Medicines Administration and other agencies that protect the country’s public health. But climbing RFK was initially far from secure.

The former environmental lawyer has undergone blisters for his long history of support for the Vaccination Movement during the hearing of the Senate Committee on his nomination. And there were several Republican senators who expressed concern about their position for the position, given its position on vaccines. The most famous of these critics was the Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, a former doctor and member of the US Senate Financing Committee.

A week before the greater vote in the Senate, however, Cassidy changed his mind about RFK -Jr. and exported Tiebrath To ensure the approval of the Kennedy Finance Committee. In his speech on the floor, Cassidy said he was swinging of assurances from both Kennedy and Trump, that he would protect the benefits of public health from vaccination. At one point, Cassidy explicitly said that Kennedy would “support disease control centers and the prevention of the recommendations of immunization practices without changes.”

Cassidy, in turn, said in social media Post On Wednesday, he did not see the RFK message as a return to his promise.

The commitments I received from RFK and administration have never prevented him from conducting stable research. I am convinced that any reputable examination will confirm the additionally arranged science of safety and efficiency of the graphics for childhood vaccine. The outbreak of the west …

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices or ACIP is a group of external experts collected by CDC. Their recommendations, officially adopted by CDC, strongly affect which vaccines are routinely provided to the public. For example, countries often require children to receive vaccines that are recommended by ACIP, such as measles, mumps and a rubella vaccine, before they can enter a public school. Insurance plans are also is usually required To cover the vaccines recommended by ACIP without any cost sharing.

The most ACIP members were embedded Just before Trump takes office, and it is likely that these members and ACIP are generally resisting direct attempts to have their recommendations unjustifiably influenced by the RFK Jr. or the Trump administration, at least for now. But it is still possible that these new members may not have the right to join Acip and/or that existing members will be forced to make room for people more in line with the thinking of RFK JR. Either way, despite his promise to Senator Cassidy, RFK Jr. now seems to be ready to try at least to undermine or potentially violate the permanent policy of the vaccine in the country.

On the same day as Kennedy swears, Trump’s administration issued An enforcement order setting the committee “Make America Healthy again” – a reference to one of Kennedy’s slogans, located during his more unsuccessful president. The order calls on the Federal Government to take action to reduce the degree of Americans from chronic diseases and completely terminate the childhood chronic illness. According to the umbrella of this executive order, Kennedy promised on Tuesday that the commission would investigate “former taboo or insufficiently considered” possible factors for the increase in chronic illness.

Along with the children’s schedule of the vaccine, Kennedy also expressed electromagnetic radiation, certain pesticides, ultra -processed foods, antidepressant drugs and microplastics such as other potential culprits for chronic illness, adding that nothing would be out of borders.

Studies have tied to some of these factors with potential health problems, such as endocrine destructive chemicals such as PFAS. But agencies like FDA have already recognized The potential damage to PFAS and similar substances and scientists work to understand these damages better. Other factors such as electromagnetic radiation have been studied, though without much showing it. The high-frequency electromagnetic fields-the Vide we use for X-rays-well known to be dangerous with too much exposure. But studies have usually not supported a link between the notionous EMF-common species emitted by our mobile phones and other household appliances and negative effects on health, including effects, including effects, including effects, including effects, including effects, including effects, including effect CancerS

And to be clear, there is no solid evidence that our current vaccination schedule is harm us or that you get Too many vaccines at once Causes chronic diseases in children (a common canary of vaccination movement).

Throughout his speech, Kennedy claims that his committee will do everything possible to carefully examine these factors. “Whatever faith or suspicion I have expressed in the past, I am ready to bring them to the attention of impartial science,” Kennedy said.

Unfortunately, any cursory look at Kennedy’s record will question this confidence. At least 20 years RFK Jr. have repeatedly represented wrong Evidence of vaccine safety and other important health problems, even after its work has been canceled by actual scientists (and even withdrew once). Now that he is given an empty check to sway on the agenda of public health of the country, it is difficult to see how this perseverance to reality will be reduced to any extent.
