It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis.

While vaccines for diseases that no longer carry a universal recommendation will still be covered by federal health insurance programs, RFK Jr’s schedule change will increase confusion and distrust in vaccines, lower vaccination rates, and increase disease and death.

Tracy Beth Høeg has no apparent experience with creating or regulating drugs, but she did make a name for herself casting doubt on some vaccines.
