Director of Health and Human Services: not enough kids are dying

Sure, cases of measles and whooping cough are going up, but RFK Jr. thinks we can be getting those kind of numbers with respect to other viral infections:

The Trump administration plans to shift the federal government away from directly recommending most vaccines for children and suggest they receive fewer shots to more closely align with Denmark’s immunization model, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Federal health officials are weighing vaccine guidancethat would encourage parents to talk to a doctor to make decisions for most shots, according to the people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations. This approach would mark a fundamental shift in the health care system that generally relies on federal health agencies to guide how patients are protected against disease.

It was not immediately clear which shots would no longer be recommended. The plans are still in flux, the people said, but broadly align with President Donald Trump’s directive earlier this month to consider recommending fewer shots, referring to the UnitedStates as an “outlier”among developed countries. 

You can say this about multiple members of the administration, but RFK Jr. is both the worst Secretary of Health and Human Services and the worst person to be Secretary of Health and Human Services, by a margin well exceeding Secretariat at the 1973 Belmont Stakes.
