From New York Times, I'm Michael Bavarro. This is the Daily.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration bypassed the traditional system of vaccine guidance

and abruptly ended the government's recommendation

that two key groups of Americans get vaccinated against COVID. Today, my colleague,

Apova Mandevely, on what could be a turning point moment in public health.

It's Wednesday, May 28th.

Poor fuck, we just got some very big public health news here in the United States in the form of this video that came out on Tuesday.

Hi, everybody. I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr., your HHS secretary, and I'm here today with M.I.H.

So Tuesday morning, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., our health secretary, dropped this very big piece of news via a tweet.

I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as of today.

He said that he couldn't be more pleased. Those are his words.

That he was announcing...

The COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women

has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.

That the CDC's immunization schedule, which recommends who should get shots and when,

would no longer include COVID shots for healthy kids and healthy pregnant women.

Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot,

despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children.

And he went out of his way to say, you know, the Biden administration has been recommending

this shot and there's no clinical data to support its use.

We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again.
