In a move that underscores his commitment to medical freedom and evidence-based policy, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that COVID-19 vaccines are no longer recommended for healthy children or pregnant women on the CDC’s immunization schedule.
“I couldn’t be more pleased,” RFK Jr. declared in a video message on X.. “We’re now one step closer to fulfilling President Trump’s promise to make America healthy again.”
This decision represents a seismic shift in federal health guidance—and a long-awaited victory for parents and doctors who have questioned the logic of administering an experimental vaccine with limited long-term safety data to low-risk populations. Flanked by FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf and NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, Kennedy laid out the case: the data doesn’t justify these shots for healthy children or pregnant women, and many countries have already stopped recommending them.
Makary put it simply: “There is no evidence that healthy kids need it today.” Bhattacharya added, “It’s common sense and good science.”
The CDC’s independent advisory panel has yet to meet on the matter, sparking criticism from establishment voices. But Kennedy isn’t waiting for rubber-stamped consensus—he’s taking action where it counts.
Predictably, medical elites are voicing concern. Yet the reality is clear: healthy children face minimal COVID risk, and many parents have felt coerced into compliance. This move restores informed choice, not removes it.
RFK Jr.’s critics say he’s courting controversy—but to many Americans, he’s finally doing what no one else would: standing up to pharma influence, listening to data, and defending our right to make personal health decisions without fear or force.
For millions of families, this isn’t politics. It’s relief.
