Vaccination against COVVI-19 for pregnant women and healthy children is no longer recommended in the United States. In a video posted on the social network X, Health Minister Robert Kennedy JR announced that these vaccines were no longer part of the recommendations of the Disease Control and Prevention Centers (CDC) for these two population categories, and this as of Tuesday, May 27.
Until now, the CDC recommended to all people 6 months and more to remember the COVVI-19 vaccine.
“I can’t be happier” to share this announcement, said Robert Kennedy Jr. “Now we are a little closer to making President Trump’s promise to do his health in the United States,” he added.
While sliding when approving a criticism aimed at the previous administration: “Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to receive a new injection against COVVI, despite the absence of clinical data to support the repeated recovery strategy in children.”
“Common sense” and “good science” for administration
The end of this vaccination recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women is “common sense” and “good science”, supported this video Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Health Institutes (NIH).
This announcement of the Minister of Health is not in itself a surprise, that Robert Kennedy JR had released in recent years for his opposition to a whole series of vaccines, and in particular to those of the COVVI-19. It is also part of a broader desire to restrict the number of Americans potentially concerned about a retirement of the coronavirus vaccine.
Last week, the head of the Food and Pharmaceutical Control Agency (FDA), Marty Makary, said he planned to restrict the use of COVVI-19 vaccines to the elderly, as well as adults and children with risk factors.
The concern of health professionals
As Political points out, the Trump administration does not expect to awaken an animated controversy with the public with these decisions, since Americans have already stopped vaccinating their children against COVVI-19. According to CDCs, only 13% of children injected the last retirement.
This strategy, however, arouses the fear of many health professionals. Because if the number of coronavirus cases is currently low in the United States, COVVI-19 continues to circulate and the end of CDC recommendations for children could participate in the propagation of the virus.
“We still have children with Covid in the emergency room,” he said NBC news Dr. Paul Offer, director of the Vaccinal Center for the Children’s Hospital in Pennsylvania. “Do you consider that this does not deserve a prevention policy?”
“As a pediatrician, I was resting on the guarantee that the recommendations they achieved were based on the best scientific data and that came from the work of experts in the CDCs,” he also reacted to Dr. Richard Besser, former interim director of CDC. “This is clearly not what is happening, and it is very worrying.”
