PUBLIC HEALTH ALERT!: Regarding RFK's new vaccine policies

RFK Jr.’s theories about vaccines are about to be tested

America is about to get a real-world test of how well vaccines keep us healthy.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s move Monday to drop recommendations that all children get shots for four diseases is likely to mean fewer kids do, and more kids contract hepatitis A, meningitis, rotavirus and the flu.

That’s a tradeoff Kennedy has long believed worthwhile. Before becoming health secretary, he said he thinks kids get too many shots and that it’s likely the cause of other health issues, such as autism, a neurological condition that affects communication and behaviors.

Most public health experts say there’s no evidence to support Kennedy’s concerns but they’re certain vaccinating less is going to lead to more disease.

“Half of my pediatric ward would be kids with rotavirus, and the other half would be kids with RSV,” said Nava Yeganeh, medical director for vaccine preventable disease control at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, recalling the time before vaccines for those diseases were widely available.
