Under anti-vaccine RFK Jr., CDC slashes childhood vaccine schedule
摘要
美国卫生与公众服务部在部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪领导下，宣布大幅调整联邦儿童疫苗接种建议，将推荐疫苗种类从17种削减至11种。官方解释称此举旨在使美国建议与其他高收入国家（如丹麦）更趋一致，并应对因反疫苗运动导致的公众信任下降。肯尼迪表示该决定旨在保护儿童、尊重家庭并重建公共卫生信任。
Under anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., federal health officials on Monday announced a sweeping and unprecedented overhaul of federal vaccine recommendations, abruptly paring down recommended immunizations for children from 17 to 11.
Officials claimed the rationale for the change was to align US vaccine recommendations more closely with those of other high-income countries, namely Denmark, a small, far less diverse country of around 6 million people (smaller than the population of New York City) that has universal health care. The officials also claim the change is necessary to address the decline in public trust in vaccinations, which has been driven by anti-vaccine activists, including Kennedy.
"This decision protects children, respects families, and rebuilds trust in public health," Kennedy said in a statement.
