Experts are worried about how President-elect Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy as Health and Human Services secretary will affect vaccination rates for school children, which have been on the decline.
Schools have seen a drop in childhood vaccinations since the COVID-19 pandemic, when critics of the COVID-19 vaccines increased anti-vaccine sentiments in generalizing . Public health groups see vaccines as a huge bulwark against disease and fear Kennedy will only increase skepticism if he is confirmed.

Considering the lethality of vaccinations these days, the cure is far more dangerous than the diseases. Total loss of trust in government mandated medicine and healthcare.

Public health groups have lost their reputations, and cannot be believed. Children are being way over vaccinated, and so are adults.

Then there was the 5 George Floyd funerals and the thousands of black people burning, looting, and rioting. That kind of gave it away as a hoax, doncha think?

My bet is that the majority of "school vaccination rate decline" is due to massive influx of third world illegal alien kids who have never had any shots, and many who are carrying many different diseases.

It is the height of naivete to think vaccines, or for that matter, any medication, are 100% free of risk. But our Congress did something stupid when it made any manufacturer of a vaccine listed on the official childhood schedule as free of liability for any injury. So Pharma works hard to 'influence' the FDA to approve shots and get them so listed. And then we as parents cannot trust the process or the recommended vaccines. Just try to sue the feds for an injury - what a joke! A parent might get 5 cents of the dollar for the cost of a permanently injured child - if that much. RFK and his open distrust of this problem is only a start. But only

In the early 20th century life span increased in the US in large part due to improved sanitation and vaccination. All the trust in medical "science" was destroyed by the covid vaccination and the government policies to control us. Now children will die from virus infections we thought were almost eliminated by vaccines. It is no wonder parents are doubting giving infants and children any vaccine. I am a physician who was trained as a pharmacologist and worked with the FDA when I was younger. I always trusted the FDA. No longer! And, no one should trust the US government when it comes to health care.

RFK didn't cause loos of faith in vaccinations and the medical industry and we know who did.

If the schools understood that vaccinated kids stay sicker, they would back off.
Their income is based on attendance.
Read "Vax-Unvax" by RFK and Hooker to see the true comparison.

#9, thank you for your input. As you know, those early vaccinations were much more of an inoculation, which we know can spur and strengthen the immune system. But increasingly, vaccinations have added more and more toxic garbage in larger and more frequent doses. The current recommended vaccination schedule is appalling, and is harming the population more than it is helping. This is what needs looking into. That, and the announced plan that all vaccinations are now going to go the route of mRNA technology. That is not only concerning but is a very possible death sentence.

Kennedy is right. These vaccinations should be stopped and evaluated for effectiveness vs side effects before injecting them into little kids. There is a reason for the emotional and physical issues are children are suffering that were not happening 40 years ago.
Have we looked at which are the healthiest countries in the world and see what they eat and how medically treat their children and adults for that matter.

Likely the reason for the vaccination rate decline is the blatant LYING done by administrators and vaccine producers as to its effectiveness - many vaccine criticisms were VALID. but those criticizing some vaccines were ostracized and delegitimized ... not exactly the "scientific method."
EACH "vaccine" now needs individualized consideration as to its efficacy and unintended effects. OR we could just continue to TRUST the government ... NOT.

I don't blame parents who don't want their kids 'stuck' with everything the government recommends...after they pushed through the covid jabs in less than a year with no real testing...just bucks in the billfold...I haven't had a flu shot since covid happened...and probably won't this year either..I no longer trust ANY 3 letter agency...oh, and yes, I'm just getting over covid, a bit worse than a cold, but at 83 I made it...

Once again the Leftwing is gaslighting people with scare tactics.
He simply wants to know if the vaccines are properly vetted and have met the normal standards for vaccines have been required to do in the past.
He is NOT against vaccines in general.

The only vaccines I had as a child were the two polio vaccinations (Salk and Sabin), TB, smallpox, and tetanus. I had the following viruses and lived (as do most children): Chicken pox, measles, rubella, and mumps.
