Allison Bauer+FollowCDC Vaccine Panel Chair Stirs ControversyThe new head of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, Kirk Milhoan, is making waves by saying personal choice should come before public health—even for vaccines like polio and measles. On a recent podcast, he questioned if polio shots are still necessary, given modern sanitation. He’s all about ‘observable science’ over ‘established science.’ With the CDC now delaying the hepatitis B shot for newborns, it looks like vaccine policy could be in for some big changes. #Health #BodyHealth #CDC00Share
reyesbrian+FollowCDC Vaccine Panel Chair Stirs ControversyThe new chair of the CDC’s vaccine panel, Kirk Milhoan, is raising eyebrows after questioning the need for polio shots, saying personal autonomy should come before public health. On a recent podcast, he called school vaccine rules “authoritarian” and pushed back on the idea that vaccines like polio and MMR are “proven.” This comes as the U.S. faces a measles comeback. Is this a sign of shifting attitudes at the top? #Health #BodyHealth #CDC10Share
Lisa Ramirez+FollowCDC Drops Meningococcal Vaccine for Kids?!The CDC just pulled the meningococcal vaccine from its routine childhood schedule, and infectious disease experts are freaking out. This rare but deadly disease can cause brain damage or even death in kids, and vaccines had helped keep it super rare. Now, only high-risk kids are recommended to get it. Pediatricians are still urging parents to keep up with the shots—so expect some heated convos at your next playdate. #Health #BodyHealth #CDC00Share
Stacy Fisher+FollowCDC Vaccine Schedule Gets Major ShakeupBig news: the CDC just cut down the number of childhood vaccines on the official schedule, saying the U.S. was giving more shots than other countries without better results. The move is all about rebuilding trust after the pandemic and making things more transparent for parents. Vaccines for things like measles, polio, and chickenpox are still covered, but the whole system is getting a serious rethink. Thoughts? #Health #BodyHealth #CDC01Share
aguilarallison+FollowRaw Oysters Are Making People Sick?!Oyster lovers, brace yourselves: the CDC just linked raw oysters to a salmonella outbreak that’s hit 64 people across 22 states. Most of those who got sick had eaten raw oysters, and 20 ended up in the hospital. No deaths, but the CDC thinks way more people could be affected. If you’ve been slurping oysters lately and feel off, you might want to check in with your doc. Who knew oysters could be this risky? #Health #BodyHealth #CDC10Share
Adam Cox+FollowCDC Hepatitis B Vaccine Schedule DramaMajor drama in the vaccine world: the CDC’s new panel just voted to loosen the long-standing rule that all newborns get the hepatitis B shot at birth. An AMA trustee is calling this move “reckless” and says it could confuse parents and put babies at risk. The change isn’t official yet—the CDC director still has to sign off. Wild to see this much tension over a shot that’s been standard for 30+ years! #Health #BodyHealth #CDC00Share
David Hernandez+FollowCDC Quietly Updates Vaccine-Autism ClaimDid you catch this? After 20+ years of saying vaccines and autism are totally unrelated, the CDC just tweaked its message. Now they admit the science doesn’t fully rule out a link—especially for small risks that studies weren’t designed to catch. No new danger was found, but it’s a big deal for transparency. Basically, the CDC is finally getting real about what the research actually shows (and doesn’t). Trust, but verify, right? #Health #BodyHealth #CDC134Share
