FDA's new expedited drug program raises legal questions and concerns The FDA commissioner's effort to drastically shorten the review of drugs favored by President Donald Trump's administration is causing alarm across the agency.

Every news story about the commissioner's priority review voucher program is more concerning than the last: www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis.

This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

While vaccines for diseases that no longer carry a universal recommendation will still be covered by federal health insurance programs, RFK Jr’s schedule change will increase confusion and distrust in vaccines, lower vaccination rates, and increase disease and death.

Federal health officials slash recommended childhood vaccinations under Trump’s directive The number of recommended childhood shots drops from 17 to 11.

Vaccine experts have warned that the actions the agency is taking will create chaos in pediatricians’ offices around the country and discourage parents from using demonstrably safe vaccines to protect their children against dangerous diseases.

Stand Up For Science: Politicizing the Childhood Vaccine Schedule Will Cost Lives

Washington, D.C. — Stand Up For Science strongly condemns Health and Human Services (HHS) Deputy Secretary O’Neill’s reported decision to overhaul the U.S. childhood immunization schedule, yet another dangerous escalation in HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s agenda to politicize children’s health and undermine American public health.

First, the “peer” countries cited as models differ in fundamental ways. Many are significantly smaller in population and geography and have universal health care systems with strong primary-care access and follow-up. When it comes to public health, these are critical distinctions. We must meet our health where it is, not where we want it to be.

When it comes to public health, these are critical distinctions. We must meet our health where it is, not where we want it to be.

Second, when a vaccine is already known to be safe and effective, it is unethical to withhold it from children for the sake of “placebo-controlled randomized trials.” For diseases like RSV, hepatitis A and B, dengue, and meningococcal disease (ACWY and B), the ethical standard is to compare schedules against existing protocols, not to deny proven protection. Calling placebo trials the “gold standard” in this context is unscientific and a violation of globally accepted research ethics.

 

We will not mince words. Under Secretary Kennedy’s leadership, this change will lead to preventable illness, death, and devastation for American families. Congress must act now to impeach and remove Secretary Kennedy.

Canadian officials say US health institutions no longer dependable for accurate information Misinformation from the Trump administration is cited as fuelling Canadians’ concerns over childhood vaccinations

On the theme of international press coverage of US public health, here’s Canada’s take. They’re not wrong.

If disinformation spreads like a virus, Canada may want to mask up. Or at least wash its hands frequently. Too bad there’s not a vaccine to protect against malicious policies…

‘She has no expertise’: the US medical community girds for Tracy Beth Høeg’s tenure at the FDA The Danish American who doubted Covid shots is meant to lead drug regulation – but has focused on vaccines

Tracy Beth Høeg has no apparent experience with creating or regulating drugs, but she did make a name for herself casting doubt on some vaccines. Her appointment as the acting FDA drugs chief signifies a greater focus from Trump's FDA on (ending) vaccines. From me www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The unfounded idea that chlorine dioxide can be a miracle cure began to spread about 20 years ago when a gold prospector wrote a book claiming his team in Guyana fell ill with malaria and recovered after drinking safe amounts of chlorine dioxide.
