The Covid vaccine will no longer be recommended for healthy children or healthy pregnant women, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Tuesday.

The vaccines had been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since they first became available for those groups several years ago.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the Covid vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the C.D.C. recommended immunization schedule,” Mr. Kennedy said in a video he posted on X.

Before becoming part of the Trump administration, Mr. Kennedy had long campaigned against vaccinating children to protect them from Covid. In making the announcement, Mr. Kennedy seems to have reneged on a promise he made to Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana, not to alter the childhood immunization schedule.

I would be shocked if this brain addled piece of crap ever told the truth or knew what the truth was.

If they are talking they are lying.

PERIOD.

Would have been better for the whole world if he had just ODed like so many other heroin junkies.
