RFK Jr.'s vaccine policy sparks a lawsuit from the American Academy of Pediatrics
NPRTuesday, July 8, 2025 at 9:00:02 AM
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other major health groups are suing Health Secretary RFK Jr., claiming he broke federal law by removing the COVID-19 vaccine from the list of recommended immunizations for pregnant women and healthy kids. They argue the decision ignores scientific consensus and could put vulnerable groups at risk.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just bureaucratic drama—it’s a high-stakes clash between political appointees and medical experts over who gets to call the shots on vaccine policy (pun intended). If the lawsuit succeeds, it could force a reversal, but if not, it might signal a shift in how public health recommendations are made, with potential ripple effects for trust in vaccines down the line. Parents and doctors are caught in the middle, left wondering whose advice to follow.
