According to local media on the 9th (local time), this was made at a time when the CDC opposed the exclusion of healthy children and pregnant women from the COVID-19 vaccination recommendation on the 27th of last month. Secretary Kennedy is reportedly forming a new committee to replace them.
Secretary Kennedy, known as the "Vaccine Skeptics", told X (X, formerly Twitter) on the 27th (local time) that healthy children and pregnant women were excluded from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination. The video released to X at the time was accompanied by Dr. Marty Makary, director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health. However, there was a controversy that the CDC ignored the procedure and ignored the CDC while making a major decision, such as not participating in the video.
Meanwhile, dozens of employees, including their scientists, protested the Trump administration's budget cuts and massive layoffs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on the 9th.
