RFK Jr does not recommend flu vaccines for kids during

a very dangerous year for the flu.

Once again, I implore media outlets to stop saying these are CDC decisions.

These are changes being made unilaterally by RFK Jr. against the expert advice of CDC scientists.

I note that RFK Jr. no longer recommends flu vaccine for kids in the midst of a horrible influenza year.

They think there are too many people in the country and the population must be decreased. Take away Healthcare, vaccines and SNAP and watch the population dwindle.

They think all the money and resources in the world belong to them.
Paying for sick, weak, injured people is a waste of their money.
