Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the COVID-19 vaccine would no longer be required for healthy children's immunization schedule, a victory for the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement.
In a clip posted on Tuesday on X, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and FDA commissioner Dr. Marty Makary together announced the following major change at the CDC.
"I couldn't be more pleased to announce, as of today, that the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule," RFK Jr. said.
"Last year, [former President Joe] Biden's administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children," he added.
Bhattacharya interjected and said that kind of insanity "ends today. It's common sense, and it's good science."
"There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children," Makary concluded.
The HHS Secretary said this decision aligns with President Donald Trump's promise on the campaign trail to "Make America Healthy Again."
A recent report from Trump's MAHA Commission, headed by RFK Jr., found that today's kids may live shorter lives than their parents, RedState reported.
The report reads in part:
The report's findings include: teenage depression nearly doubling from 2009 to 2019, more than one-in-five children over the age of six being considered obese, one-in-31 children diagnosed with autism by age 8, and childhood cancer spiking by 40% since 1975.
Chronic diseases have a chilling effect on national security, commission members said in a Thursday morning phone call with the media. Roughly 75% of America's youth aged 17–24 do not qualify to serve in the military due to obesity, asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases or behavioral disorders, they said.
The report pointed to a handful of variables leading to what Kennedy and other Trump administration leaders called a "chronic disease crisis," including a "food system (that) is safe but could be healthier;" exposure to environmental chemicals such as pesticides outside or microplastics in food consumed; as well as a culture shift that moved kids from playing outside to being glued to their phones or tablets.
The report found that prescribing medication to children has skyrocketed in recent history, such as a 250% increase in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder prescriptions between 2006 and 2016 despite scientific evidence that the prescriptions did not "improve outcomes long-term," as well as a 1,400% increase between 1987 and 2014 for antidepressant prescriptions for kids, and 800% increase in antipsychotic medications for children between 1993 and 2009.
The MAHA report, along with the change to the immunization schedule, is another move by President Trump to reverse the damage done by the Biden administration with their flawed COVID guidance.
After Trump resumed office, the White House updated its Covid.gov website and it now clearly states in big bold letters that the pandemic was caused by a "Lab Leak," RedState reported.
A message on the page read, "The True Origins of Covid-19" and pointed to not only the origin of the virus but also to the misinformation as to its source pushed on us for years by those like Dr. Anthony Fauci and other "experts."
Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci and Co.’s response to COVID was one of the biggest unconstitutional power grabs of all time.
