Trump, RFK Jr. Reportedly Plan US Covid-19 Vaccine Ban

The Trump administration, working closely with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., plans to remove COVID-19 vaccines from the U.S. market within months, according to Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist and advisor to Kennedy's lobby group Make America Healthy Again (MAHA). Malhotra and Kennedy, neither of whom hold scientific qualifications, argue that the vaccines pose greater risks than the virus itself, a claim widely rejected by the medical community for methodological flaws and biased data. This move is expected to cause significant public fear and legal challenges but reflects the administration's skepticism about COVID-19 vaccine safety. Critics emphasize that the vaccines have been proven to reduce severe illness and death, and accuse the administration and its advisors of spreading misinformation that endangers public health. Despite the controversy, the administration appears committed to this policy shift as part of Kennedy's broader health agenda. The debate underscores ongoing tensions between public health science and political influences in managing pandemic responses.
