The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its immunization schedule on Monday, dropping the universal COVID-19 vaccine recommendation and also recommending that toddlers receive the chickenpox shot separately from the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) shot.

Acting Director and Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Jim O'Neill signed off on the recommendations, which were made by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) last month.

"Informed consent is back," O'Neill said in a statement released Monday. "CDC's 2022 blanket recommendation for perpetual COVID-19 boosters deterred health care providers from talking about the risks and benefits of vaccination for the individual patient or parent. That changes today."

Last month, ACIP voted to abandon its previous universal recommendation for annual COVID-19 vaccine shots for anyone aged 6 months and older, instead suggesting that Americans can get the vaccine "based on individual-based decision-making," or personal choice.

"Informed consent is back", in other words the advice from idiots with strong opinions formed by reading online conspiracy theories are just as valid as doctors and scientists.

2. What in the world is informed consent

Is the pharmacist going to ask every patient: Did you talk to your doctor about this COIVD shot?

6. Same here.

3 weeks ago I tried to make an appointment to schedule a Covid shot and they were NOT giving any out and my prim care doctor wasn't even allowed to give me an Rx for one, his hands were tied by the crazy CDC. Then a week later I read here on DU that some people were able to get the shot so I tried CVS again and for some reason I was allowed to schedule one. I made an appointment for that very day since who the hell know what this admin will do from one day to the next.
