The HHS recently rolled out a new Childhood Vaccine Schedule following President Trump’s eminently sensible order to align the US schedule with “international peer reviewed best practices.”
Denmark’s childhood vaccine schedule was selected as the optimal model. It covers 10 diseases with 11 doses of vaccines; the US Schedule currently covers 18 diseases with 72 doses.
Despite there being no “Vaccine Mandate,” Denmark’s vaccination rate is 92%. Its children are among the healthiest in the world, with both low infant mortality rates and low rates of chronic disease.
Sounds like a winning plan, no? Fewer shots, healthier children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) quickly challenged the Childhood Vaccine Schedule changes in court filings, alleging that the CDC bypassed the vaccine panel; that none of the stated explanations “offer a reasoned evaluation or rational connection between the facts found and choices made;” and that the new recommendations confused some parents and pharmacists and made insurance coverage unclear. NOT ONE COMMENT OR CONCERN ABOUT THE CHILDREN, YOU’LL NOTICE.
Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee in Massachusetts, agreed that the government appeared to have improperly bypassed the vaccine advisory panel and also improperly replaced all the committee members with new appointees – “an abandonment of the technical knowledge and expertise embodied by that committee.”
His ruling has blocked the Trump administration from implementing its pared-down list of recommended childhood vaccines. So drug companies will continue to reap obscene profits as American children continue to get Chronic Diseases and die.
