RFK Jr.-Backed Vaccine Panel Advises Against MMRV Vaccine for Young Children New members of a key committee tweak routine childhood vaccine guidance as some states and insurers go their own way.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

CDC advisers vote to change guidance on MMRV vaccines The group was chosen by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. amid controversy over their credentials. It's changing guidance for vaccines for measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

“The MMRV vote will not affect the Vaccines for Children program…But the Children's Health Insurance Program and Medicaid will be affected by the vote and may not cover these shots anymore.”

Suzanne Swierc Let me be clear: if you think Charlie Kirk was a wonderful person, we can't be friends. His death is a tragedy, and I can and do feel for his wife and children. I believe in the Resurrection, and while it's difficult, I can and do pray for his soul. Charlie Kirk's death is a reflection of the violence, fear, and hatred he sowed. It does not excuse his death, AND it's a sad truth. The shooting is a tragedy, and I can and do feel for a college campus experiencing an active shooter situation. The deaths of Melissa and Mark Hortman, the children shot and killed in Minneapolis last month, and the children shot in Colorado today are all tragedies that also deserve your attention. Charlie Kirk excused the deaths of children in the name of the second amendment.

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:
