I think this makes as much sense as saying you don't need to disinfect surfaces anymore, because a "surface" is immune from infection.

He'll ban the diagnosis of Autism next, then declare that it's cured.
Then HitlerPig will take credit for it, and tell the world that he cured Autism all by himself.
A few things to get out of the way
- RFK is completely nuts and doesn't belong anywhere, let alone in office.
- Vaccines are a good thing and vaccine campaigns have suppressed some very nasty diseases.
I don't disagree with this policy though. (...and that is this post obliterated).
We already take a conservative approach with medical treatments and pregnancy, including some forms of vaccination which we do not give to pregnant women. I have absolutely no problem being conservative with treatment which work in a different way to previous treatments.
With young children, I don't think the benefit / harm calculation for the individual ever supported giving it to them. The probability that catching COVID would cause you serious harm was always lower the younger you were. Whereas the probability for side effects was always there. The only rationale to vaccinate children was to limit transmission in the population which is something it utterly failed to do.
The role out of the COVID treatments was (IMHO) a high risk strategy but arguably necessary because of the situation we were in. We're now in a different situation. We should be re-evaluating the decision made in a time of crisis to see if they still hold up.
I thought they've always been very conservative about pregnant woman and very young kids for vaccines (and other treatments in general).
258 million. That is the death count they are looking for.
Gotta keep the ambrosia to the elites.
I'm glad this story is finally getting traction.
