15 Blue States Sue Trump Administration Over Rollback of Childhood Vaccine Recommendations

Fourteen Democratic attorneys general and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the Department of Health and Human Services over its decision to remove seven vaccines from the childhood vaccination schedule. The states argue the CDC unlawfully circumvented the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in rolling back recommendations that have underpinned public health policy for decades. The legal battle opens a new front in the clash between the Trump administration's 'Make America Healthy Again' health reform agenda — championed by HHS Secretary RFK Jr. — and the public health establishment that views the vaccine schedule as settled science.
