In new level of stupid, RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine advisors axe MMRV recommendation

The article discusses a controversial decision made by the advisory board of the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) to remove the recommendation for the MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccine. This decision was heavily criticized, with the article describing it as "a new level of stupid" and the discussion leading up to it as "inept." The article suggests that the decision was influenced by anti-vaccine advocates, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who are known for spreading misinformation about vaccine safety. The article emphasizes that this move goes against scientific evidence and expert consensus, which strongly supports the use of the MMRV vaccine as a safe and effective way to protect children from these dangerous diseases. The article concludes by highlighting the potential harm this decision could have on public health, especially in the context of ongoing efforts to control the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases.
