CDC votes against MMRV vaccines for children under 4

[Morphine Prince 109,655]

A panel of vaccine advisers to the federal government – now embroiled in controversy under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – has voted in favor of changing the childhood vaccine schedule.

On Thursday afternoon, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, voted 8-3 to change the current recommendations that allow children under 4 to receive the MMRV vaccine, a combination shot for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox (or varicella).

The vast majority of children in the U.S. – about 85% – get separate shots for MMR and chickenpox, though parents currently have the option to give their children the single shot to cover all four diseases.

Absolute insanity, a man who doesn’t have any scientific evidence to support his unfounded and dangerous views is putting the health of millions of children at risk.

This is what happens when people who are genuinely uneducated manipulate their way into positions of power.

EU should ban Americans from entering. Keep your mutations to yourself.

Funny how right wing voters are convinced the shadowy elite cabal are trying to kill of part of the global population and want to stop them.

And then vote for the only people proposing to kill off part of the global population through sheer stupidity.

Thank goodness my girls just got their MMR and Varicella on Tuesday. 
 

Did they vote against MMRV or MMR or both? Seems like an important distinction. My girls got two separate shots. 
 

Okay read the article. Looks like it’s the combo shot they are against. Which is still horrible considering they’re against scientific evidence. It needs to be pointed out the Hep B recommendations though. That is scary and will result in lives lost if it changes. So thankful my girls have completed that series.

At this point, let natural selection do its thing. It's so exhausting to experience the daily decline in this country.
