I don’t have much to add to the horrible decision by the Trump/Vought Administration and Plaguelord Kennedy to stop the CDC from recommending seven childhood vaccines, except to add one thing that I don’t think is said enough:

there are overwhelming data, both from clinical trials as well as the observational data from years, if not decades of vaccine use, that these vaccines are safe and also prevent massive amounts of disease and death.

Despite what anonymous CDC officials might claim, we do not need more investigation into their safety or efficacy. Sometimes, the science is settled, and this is one of those times. The effectiveness of the vaccines that Kennedy is undermining is not in doubt.

None of this needed to happen. Everyone who said there was no difference between the two parties didn’t think this was important (it was clear this would happen), along with everyone who voted for Trump. Unfortunately, the rest of us are left with their mess.
