RFK Jr. Warns Docs of Liability if They Stray From CDC on Vaccines

[lostincalifornia]

"The American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) recent pediatric COVID-19 vaccine recommendationsopens in a new tab or window, which differ from those of the CDC, have raised concerns from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who responded with an oblique warning to any physicians who might follow the AAP's advice.

"AAP should ... be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC's official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act," Kennedy posted this week on Xopens in a new tab or window.

The AAP recommendationsopens in a new tab or window, released on Tuesday, included a strong endorsement of COVID-19 shots for children ages 6 months to under 2 years. The group also recommended COVID shots for older children if the parents want to do that. Those recommendations differ from guidance issued by the CDCopens in a new tab or window, which has said the vaccines are not specifically recommended for children although they can still get them if parents and providers agree.

Was Kennedy correct about the liability issue? "As has become common for Secretary Kennedy, this is misleading," Dorit Reiss, PhD, a law professor at the University of California San Francisco, said in a Facebook postopens in a new tab or window on Wednesday. "Whether a vaccine falls under VICP [the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, the part of the Vaccine Injury Act that deals with liability issues] has nothing to do with whether AAP recommends it, and the liability protections are not removed by this."

1. This should become a state's rights issue

We need to keep it legal in NJ.

If the Red States want mass deaths then let them go that way. I can't help them with that.

But I have a right to take an FDA Approved Drug in NJ.

This is why soft balkanization needs to occur. Speaking over unqualified people is a good start.

5. Yes, but they can remove the FDA certification on any drug.

6. Wonder if this could be

A new office of the government in NJ? Job creator. Do as much as we can behind Fed Gov's back.

Trump is destroying the medical profession.
