RFK JR. Handyly chosen

The Robert F. FAFC’s recommendation committee has issued. Kennedy Junior instructions, if they are behaved, can be repaired whenever and how children receive brutality designed to protect them from serious diseases such as measles, measles, and chickenpox.

The ACIP Consultative Committee met on Thursday. In 8 to 3 votes, they recommended not to use the measles vaccine, mumps, measles, and varicose veins (chickenpox) in children under the age of four. Instead, they now recommend that children only get two separate vaccines covering these four diseases.

The new Kennedy goalkeeper

ACIP was traditionally a committee of independent experts organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help direct the country’s vaccine policy. Their recommendations, while the undisputed, carries a great weight; Many states impose that children receive all the vaccines recommended by ACIP before entering public schools, for example. But during the era of US Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, critics say ACIP has become a platform for vaccine suspicion.

In early June, Kennedy Firing All the former former former members of ACIP and then, without any external review, appointed eight new members, some of them previously It is represented Knowledge of the safety of the vaccine or those who have Mali benefited From attacking vaccines. Kennedy added five new members to the team earlier this week, including some individuals who questioned the safety and effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines.

At the last committee meeting in June, by a majority of vote, new Kennedy members Improved Removing an additive to mercury called Thimosal from the very few arids that contain it. The recommendation was officially approved by the government in July. Supporters of anti -vaccination have always blamed thimrosal in the vaccines of autism and other neurological conditions, even after they were disposed of from all childhood shots two decades before an abundance of caution. and Dozens of studies Since then, he has failed to support any connection between theimosal (or, for this issue, that is, a specific vaccine or component) and autism.

Under the leadership of Kennedy, the Center for Disease Control was threatened with a series of outstanding departure. According to the director of the centers, Susan Monares It is said that he refuses To support the Kennedy vaccine agenda – a decision to stimulate the resignation of many employees of the Disease Control Center and on another unprecedented agenda General offer for support From the remaining employees.

Monares to attest In a Senate hearing earlier this week, she claimed that Kennedy had pressed her for the ACIP Rubber-Tamp recommendations. She also stated that Kennedy told her that the childhood vaccine schedule would change in September and that she needed to be “on board.”

What does the latest vote for these vaccines mean

In what was the second meeting since Kennedy rejected the former members in June, the committee discussed for the first time the safety of the measles vaccine, mumps, measles, and varicose veins (MMRV).

The MMRV vaccine was approved in 2005 as a suitable alternative to children who are granted a MMR vaccine and a separate investigator, providing protection against all four diseases simultaneously. Soon after his release of the public, evidence that the first dose of the MMRV vaccine has been linked to an increase in the risk of a fever seizure (bouts that caused a fever) in children under the age of four compared to the MMR Plus vaccine. More importantly, an additional risk of Nubia has not seen with the second dose of the mmrv vaccine gran granted to older children.

The Center for Disease Control was the first to discover and recognize this danger Recommended a long time ago This, unless parents are specifically asking MMRV vaccines, the younger children should receive the MMR Plus Varicella vaccine as the first dose and the MMRV vaccine combined for the second dose. At the ACIP meeting on Thursday, CDC staff provided data showing that about 85 % of parents choose MMR and a separate rescue vaccine as recommended for the first dose. But since some families may prefer their children who receive fewer vaccines in general, parents have advised that any vaccine strategy can be chosen.

Fea seizures are definitely frightening for both parents and the child for experience. However, it is generally short and often linked For long -term health problems. In contrast, the vast majority of these types of seizures are not related to vaccination but infections.

The length and difference is that this change is completely unnecessary, given that most parents take the advice of the center of diseases control and do not use a mmrv vaccine for the first dose. But the ACIP vote will effectively remove the family’s right to determine which of those who shoot their young children-a ridiculous fate in view of how supporters of vaccination often fram their decision not to vaccinate themselves or their children as an expression of freedom.

CDC employees have indicated that the ACIP recommendation can affect Medicaid coverage for these vaccines, as well as the coverage provided through the Children’s Vaccine Program (VFC), a federal program that provides vaccines for families that are unable to withstand their costs. It is possible that some children who were to receive the mmrv vaccine will not be received by the two separate vaccines for any number of reasons.

However, ACIP voted “No” on whether VFC should change its coverage in coordination with the new recommendation. This means that the program must be committed to its current MMRV vaccine.

ACIP also discussed whether it should continue to recommend the urgency of the comprehensive hepatitis B that begins at birth – a policy that the group has first approved for more than 30 years. But due to a longer meeting, ACIP has been delayed in this regard until tomorrow. ACIP is expected to weigh Covid-19 vaccines tomorrow.
