In affluent countries with accessible healthcare, most kids survive #rotavirus infection. But that doesn't mean kids & their families should have to go through a nasty illness. Rotavirus vaccine was one of those recently dropped from the US "recommended for all" list www.statnews.com/2026/01/17/r...
My son had rotavirus before he could get the vaccine. Ending universal rotavirus vaccination is a tragedy
A rotavirus expert’s baby caught the disease before vaccines were available. He’s seen firsthand why the vaccine, recently downgraded on the vaccination schedule, is so important.

Meningococcal disease has been rare. But when it occurs, it is devastating. High death rate. Survivors often lose limbs, as this person did. There's no way to accurately assess who is at risk. And yet meningococcal vaxes are no longer recommended for all children. www.thebulwark.com/p/my-life-sh...
My Life Shows the Horror of RFK Jr.’s New Vaccine Guidelines
