Judge Blocks RFK Jr.'s Overhaul of Vaccine Recommendations

HHS secretary violated federal procedures in revamping advisory committee, judge says

A federal judge in Boston has temporarily blocked federal health officials from cutting the number of vaccines recommended for every child, and says Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. likely violated federal procedures in revamping a key vaccine advisory committee.

The decision Monday halts an order by Kennedy -- announced in January -- to end broad recommendations for all children to be vaccinated against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis, and RSV.

Leading medical groups voiced alarm at the changes. The American Academy of Pediatrics and some other groups amended a lawsuit filed in July, asking the judge to stop the government from scaling back the nation's childhood vaccination schedule.

Children are going to die because of this. I hope the judge realizes this.

"Leading medical groups" lost all credibility when they said that your kid should be taken from you if you don't support gay/trans/pedo bull crap!!!

The “Judge” only cares about one thing, “You know what Trump.”

But it was perfectly fine for the FDA to approve the experimental injection for children and babies even though they admitted they have no idea whether it is safe. I wonder what kind of procedures were violated in that.

I’d like to know what laws were supposedly broken in replacing the people on the advisory committee.

An anonymous “federal judge in Boston”?

Same old same old.

I’d guess that ALL of the Federal Judges in Boston should be impeached and removed. For the Children.

One branch of government: Judges.
It’s all you need, right?

Good grief, they’re just cutting RECOMMENDATIONS!

They’re not prohibiting anything.

In the whole article the judge is not named and we don’t know who appointed him/her.

How does a judge have any say in this at all?

isn’t it great when a member from another branch of govt thinks they can tell a member of the executive branch what they can and cannot do.

you’d almost think something like that would be unconstitutional...

It's all about the benjamins.

There should be no financial initiative for physicians,
etc to prescribe drugs or vaccinations.

This is the money line:

“Leading medical groups voiced alarm at the changes.”

Right - what law is being broken? What law is being interpreted? I don’t get it.

...although that doesn’t seem to stop them.

“...we don’t know who appointed him/her.”

Traitor Roberts has commanded us that there are no W Judges, nor 0bama Judges.

We should always include notation of who the POTUS was AND who the State US Senators were....

They’re just nickel and diming him to death.

Nitpicking over micro-issues, you didn’t cross a T, dot an I, they just make it up when they want to screw somebody.

The judgeocracy is no different from the bureaucracy: unchecked power.
