The Boston Globe reported that a federal judge in Boston blocked Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”s plan to reduce the number of vaccines required for children.
MAHA indeed!
Some people still believe in science.
A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked federal health officials from cutting the number of vaccines recommended for every child, and says US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. likely violated federal procedures in revamping a key vaccine advisory committee.
The decision Monday halts an order by Kennedy — announced in January — to end broad recommendations for all children to be vaccinated against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis and RSV.
Leading medical groups voiced alarm at the changes. The American Academy of Pediatrics and some other groups amended a lawsuit filed in July, asking the judge to stop the government from scaling back the nation’s childhood vaccination schedule.
The judge also says Kennedy’s reconstitution of the vaccine advisory panel likely violated federal law. He ordered the appointments — and all decisions made by the reformed committee — put on hold.

Good point! Unfortunately, due to guilt (presumed) by association, as long as the Make America Dumb Again crowd have enough votes to look like they’ve won elections, we will all continue to look stupid in the eyes of the rest of the world.
For those who didn’t already submit a Vote by Mail Ballot and still have active brain cells, heart, as well as genuine concern for humanity, be sure to vote tomorrow for progressive candidates!

I agree, ECE, Kennedy is a pure example of MASA, Make America Stupider Again and to the tenth power, even worse than the first Trump misadministration. Kennedy is a threat to the health and welfare of the US. Bravo to the judge who has blocked RFK Jr’s bizarre plans to endanger US kids’ health.

Sadly I am not sure that intelligence plays much of a role in evolution. The “poorly educated ” multiply just fine. Shunning vaccines may be a bit more effective. But probably not enough.”Ask me if I care”
