"The recent recommendation from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s advisory panel to restrict the combined MMRV vaccine for children under 4 is troubling. While the panel cites concerns about rare fever-related seizures, the broader implications risk undermining confidence in vaccines that have protected generations from measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox. Parents already face challenges navigating vaccine schedules. Replacing a single shot with multiple appointments complicates the process and may lower vaccination rates at a time when preventable disease outbreaks are resurging."
"Donald Trump complains that the TV networks are overwhelmingly negative toward him while ignoring that, for decades, right-wing media have been overwhelmingly negative toward Democrats and Democratic presidents. Right-wing media has actually convinced half of America that the other half is the enemy, and too many act accordingly. Our Constitution gives us the right of free speech and the right to criticize the government for grievances, but Americans have to stand up for their rights."
An advisory panel recommended restricting the combined MMRV vaccine for children under four because of rare fever-related seizures and raised discussion about delaying the newborn hepatitis B vaccine. Such recommendations risk undermining confidence in vaccines that prevent measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox, complicate vaccine schedules by replacing a single shot with multiple appointments, and may lower vaccination rates amid resurging preventable disease outbreaks. Mixed messaging and hesitation can weaken public trust in vaccines. Political and corporate influences risk prioritizing profit or politics over clear, evidence-based health policy and democratic norms.
