Doctors warn of deadly consequences among US kids as Trump, RFK Jr fuel vaccine rollbacks

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised childhood immunization guidelines, reducing recommended vaccines from 17 to 11 and shifting some into "shared clinical decision-making." This change has drawn criticism from medical experts who argue it reflects political ideology rather than scientific evidence. The new guidelines have sparked concern among public health officials that they could weaken vaccine uptake and increase preventable diseases. The American College of Physicians, along with other organizations, are calling for the policy to be rescinded and for the advisory committee to be restored as a science-driven body acting in the best interests of patients.
