BREAKING: Biden Judge Blocks RFK Jr’s Childhood Vaccine Schedule Changes, Invalidates Key Vaccine Advisory Panel

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.’s changes to the childhood vaccine schedule.

US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, issued a preliminary injunction and invalidated RFK Jr’s key vaccine advisory panel after he replaced all 17 people who previously made the vaccine recommendations.

Judge Murphy’s order comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and several other groups.

CNBC reported:

A federal judge on Monday blocked key parts of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s effort to reshape U.S. vaccine policy, including a move to reduce the number of shots routinely ​recommended for children.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston sided with the American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups, which said health regulators had acted unlawfully to carry out Kennedy’s agenda of upending immunization policies and warned the changes will reduce vaccination rates and harm public health.

Vaccine makers have grown increasingly wary of U.S. vaccine policy, including the makers of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna. Companies that make other shots on the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule include Merck, Sanofi and GSK.

As Kennedy’s policies have taken hold, pediatricians have faced parents increasingly skeptical about vaccines and medical treatments, while nearly a dozen states have begun considering legal changes that would relax vaccine requirements for school enrollment.

In January, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it will recommend fewer routine vaccines for most American children.

The change follows a directive from Trump in December, who ordered federal health agencies to examine how peer-developed nations structure their childhood immunization schedules and whether the United States has fallen out of step with international best practices.

Thank you, Mr. President. We’re on it. https://t.co/WNaTH73CXB

Under the revised framework, only 11 “consensus vaccines,” those widely recommended across developed nations, will remain universally recommended for all children.

These include vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Hib, pneumococcal disease, HPV, and varicella.

Several other vaccines, including influenza, COVID-19, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal disease, will no longer be universally recommended for all children under RFK Jr’s new vaccine schedule.

Instead, they would be administered based on individual risk factors or after consultation between parents and healthcare providers.
