They did vote to restrict access to the Measels/Mumps/Rubella vaccine for children under 4. Monsters.
For those who don’t know, that vaccine is the origin of the modern anti-vaccine movement. A company marketing stand-alone vaccines was mad that somebody made a combo vaccine, making theirs unmarketable, so they funded fraudulent studies to block it.
These shots are a fucking nightmare for child. Not allowing combined formulations is them basically just jabbing you child in the arm 3 or 4 extra times just so some company can overcharge you for them.
The amount of times this administration has been standing in the room with me and wife while we’re trying to make important decisions about OUR CHILD is fucking mind-boggling.
jokes on you for having a kid in 2024/25
Arguably the rest of us empathetic educated people probably should take a page from their book and create a movement for developing healthy, large, empathetic families.
… Exactly how you would do that is kind of a mystery to me without trampling on people’s rights.
You can’t out-procreate these people. They have 12 kids in the hope that one is a success and doesn’t hate them. It’s their lottery.
Then we introduce birth control into milk sold as raw?
i can’t imagine our future children would thank us
My understanding is that they removed “MMRV” - the combined Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella - shot, presumably in favor of “MMR+V” - on Measles + Mumps + Rubella shot and a second Varicella shot, which has been the ‘default’ practice for under-4s anyway. Parents have had the option to use the 1-shot MMRV instead of the 2-shot MMR+V, and removing MMRV from recommendation will (I assume) eliminate that option.
Slightly ironic, given that RFK Jr was just complaining how kids these days have to get “90 injections” to be fully vaccinated, that the MMRV move will essentially add an injection to the vaccination schedule.
You see!!! The government wants to jab you more! Check mate!
Well it’s a bit more than that. On the first day they voted to restrict access to MMR for under 4’s, except they also voted an exemption that covered like half of American children.
Then on the 2nd day they had another vote to in fact cancel it for those children as well.
This isn’t correct. They voted to recommend against the MMRV vaccine which MMR + Smallpox vaccine. Typically for under 4’s these are done separately in something like 85% of cases unless the parent specifically requests them together.
So not much is changing regarding the MMR vaccine
You’re right that this isn’t about MMR but MMRV, I hadn’t looked into what the V was but it’s chickenpox (varicella), not smallpox. The article doesn’t make any mention of an MMR only vaccine, I would assume that they don’t do one anymore and it has been supplanted by MMRV.
The story here is that they initially removed the recommendation for children under 4, but upheld it for free vaccines through the Vaccines for Children program. Then, the following day they re-did the vote again to cancel that exemption. As the Vaccines for Children is a federal program, they follow the recommendations so this means that they’ve cancelled pretty much all free MMRV vaccines.
Not to second guess you but just out of interest, do you have a source?

This must be some of that innovation capitalism provides. Go capitalism! We’re number 1!
Holy crap, it’s like listening to eight year olds have a debate.
I have an eight-year-old.
Fascists are literally children. Their brain development stopped at some point and they never grew up.
They act and speak like children. But children are generally nicer in my experience.
Hate has to be taught. That’s the difference between children and fascists. As children they usually haven’t been taught how to hate yet, once they get taught to hate they can become fascists. Or they can learn to think instead.
Yep.
They are mean, stupid children, 5th grade bullies.
That really is pretty much it.
Seems like the only thing keeping these fascists from fully-enacting their evil plans is their own incompetence 🤦
Fire the stupid fucks
We can’t say that anymore. Now we gotta say things that are not true.
I just said it. You don’t have to if you choose to bow down to the wannabe dictator pulling the strings
That moment of clarity
FFS, I thought this was an Onion title at first.
With onion posts getting closer to reality and reality getting closer to the onion, it’s hard to tell.
Poe’s Onion.
but for others it can become chronic, which leads to liver disease, cirrhosis, liver transplant, and liver cancer.
I get what they’re saying here, hep B can fuck up your liver badly enough that you need a transplant, but listing it there makes it sound like liver transplant is a symptom of hepatitis B. Like one day you’ll get so sick that you’ll you’ll be walking down the street and suddenly have a liver transplant happen out of the blue.
Man
I know the liver does spontaneous regrowth but that’s impressive
