Groups like the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have criticized alterations to the COVID-19 vaccine schedule, with some suing Kennedy over his statements. During Senate hearings, Kennedy made a controversial remark asserting that Black people do not need the same vaccine schedule as whites. Experts refute this claim, stating that vaccination schedules should be tailored based on health and exposure risk, not race. Recent discussions highlight concerns regarding Kennedy's unwillingness to acknowledge misinformation surrounding vaccines.
Kennedy stated that 'we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.' This claim is unsupported by any scientific evidence and has been widely criticized by medical professionals.
Experts emphasize that vaccine schedules are tailored based on individual factors such as age and health conditions, and race should not be a consideration. There is no research backing Kennedy's assertion that Black individuals require fewer antigens.
