Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday announced the removal of the COVID-19 vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's immunization schedule for "healthy children and pregnant women" -- a move that could alter guidance for doctors as well as some insurance coverage.

Donald Trump's sweeping tax legislation is expected to cost around $3.8 trillion over the next 10 years.

Public health and infectious disease experts said they were surprised and confused about the move, and questioned why the HHS did not offer any reasoning for its decision.

In advancing his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda — on food, medication, vaccinations — Kennedy has already given his supporters what they wanted and his detractors what they feared.

On Wednesday, as news broke that the Trump administration was reneging on the contract, Moderna reported positive results from an early trial of a vaccine targeting H5 influenza viruses. In a preliminary trial of 300 healthy adults, the vaccine candidate appeared safe and boosted antibody levels against the virus by 44.5-fold.

Chadwick Conover, a globetrotting adventurer and self-described “real-life influencer,” has helped connect North Bay ranching allies with Trump’s outspoken health secretary, raising hopes among those determined to overturn a Biden-era deal to phase out most seashore ranching.

At the core of the so-called “Make America Healthy Again” movement is scrutiny of ingredients in food, agricultural production, and vaccines, as well as a rejection of decades of scientific consensus favoring of fringe and sometimes debunked theories.

After John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, the familial political dynasty continued on, experiencing both success and scandal.
