Medical Groups Sue Kennedy Over Vaccine Policy Shift

News summary

A coalition of major medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Public Health Association, has filed a federal lawsuit in Massachusetts against Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his removal of COVID-19 vaccination recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women. The plaintiffs argue that Kennedy bypassed the established scientific review process, undermined public health, and replaced the CDC's immunization advisory panel with individuals holding anti-vaccine views. They claim these actions have created confusion, eroded trust in medical advice, and increased risks for vulnerable populations. The organizations seek to have the directive declared unlawful and to reinstate the prior vaccine recommendations. Kennedy and his appointees counter that the changes reflect scientific evidence and are in line with evolving international standards for pediatric COVID-19 vaccination.
