COVID-19 vaccine removed from CDC schedule

COVID-19 vaccine will no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women

The emergence of measles needs to bother more people than it is bothering nationally right now. Though they're states away, Dr. Jim McDonald with the New York State Department of Health is very concerned about the measles outbreak in West Texas and New Mexico. Measles is not *** harmless childhood infection. You know, if you look at the Texas outbreak in particular. Little over 1 in 5 people are ending up in *** hospital. McDonald points to falling immunization rates as the reason behind the outbreaks. CDC data found vaccination coverage among kindergartners across the US dropped to 92.7% for measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. During the 2023 to 2024 school year. When vaccine rates erode, and they have eroded to the point where many jurisdictions now have vaccine rates that are well less than 95%, which is what's required to prevent measles. Um, we're starting to see measles come back. Paul Offit says there's an increase in vaccine skepticism and *** rejection of them after the COVID-19 vaccines. I do worry that as immunization rates continue to erode, that these children will once again. The CDC says measles has *** Mortality rate of 1 to 3 per 1000 cases in children with two deaths confirmed from the current outbreak. Offutt fears the current number of cases is much higher than currently reported. This is *** highly contagious virus, and I don't think people realize how sick it can make you.
