“… Effective immediately, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will no longer recommend every child receive vaccines for rotavirus, influenza, meningococcal disease, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hepatitis A and hepatitis B, according to materials released Monday by the Department of Health and Human Services. Instead, smaller groups of children and babies should get those vaccines only if they are at high risk or if a doctor recommends it.

Administration health officials said they were aligning U.S. recommendations more closely with vaccine schedules in other countries, citing decreased public confidence in vaccinations, especially following the covid-19 pandemic….”

“… Officials are dividing vaccines into three categories.

The first category includes vaccines recommended for all children, such as to protect against measles and polio and whooping cough.

The second category encompasses vaccines recommended for certain high-risk groups or populations, such as RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B and meningitis.

The third category includes vaccines that can be given under a designation known as “shared clinical decision-making” that allows children to get the shots after families consult with their health care providers. Officials said they didn’t undergo a fresh assessment of who is considered high risk.

The new set of recommendations align the U.S. more closely with Denmark’s schedule, something administration officials had previously suggested.

Two of the vaccinations — for influenza and rotavirus — should only be given when a doctor recommends it, under the new CDC guidance. The CDC already shifted to this model for coronavirus vaccines in the fall.…”
 
Denmark is an outlier in Europe, on the low end.

They also have universal healthcare.

I think even. the payers will come to the conclusion that vaccinating is cheaper than treating.

Of all the things Trump and his imbecilic followers are doing, this will do the most lasting damage.
 
I remember posing the question to some stupid conservative on the old board (maybe Dr. Lynch?), "How many people will Trump kill in a second term?" Will he kill more or fewer than he did in and because of his first term? Of course, the chicken shit troll refused to answer.

Given the disappearance of USAID, dismantling of health care, torture and concentration camps, military adventurism (both domestic and foreign), and MAHA, I think I'm going with the over.
