Trump Orders Vaccine Review, Because Babies Might Be Getting Too Many Shots or Horses Too Few
KEY POINTS
- ā¢On Friday night, Trump directed Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to review U.S. childhood vaccination policies.
- ā¢Kennedy's CDC advisory panel voted to remove the longstanding hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for infants at birth.
- ā¢Medical groups widely condemned the move, warning it undermines decades of scientific evidence and public confidence.
On a high-stakes Friday night plot twist, President Trump commanded his top health squad, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to overhaul U.S. childhood vaccine rules to match 'best practices' from other fancy developed countries. This came right after Kennedyās handpicked CDC panel voted to dump the decades-old rule forcing infants to get the hepatitis B vaccine at birthābecause apparently most babies arenāt high-risk Hep B deer in headlights. Trump heralded this as a āvery good decisionā in a Truth Social flex, while AMAās Sandra Adamson Fryhofer called it ārecklessā and a betrayal of decades of trust. Meanwhile, Kennedy humbly replied, 'Thank you, Mr. President. We're on it.' The CDC vaccine schedule ā known for resembling a pharmacy aisle after a Black Friday sale ā now faces a potential takeout, all while Trump reminisces about vaccine loads fit for horses and not humans. Brace yourselves; baby needles might get European-chic or just confusing.
