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.

The new U.S. guidelines recommend all children get vaccines for 11 diseases, compared with the 18 previously on the schedule.

What in the holy Betty Crocker is this response from the @nytimes.com #ethicist?
