US committee is reconsidering all vaccine recommendations

The US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is reconsidering all its vaccine recommendations, according to its chair, Kirk Milhoan. This move represents a significant shift in the committee's stance, as it has been responsible for making vaccine recommendations for the US for decades. Milhoan, in recent interviews, has criticized vaccination requirements for school attendance and stated that vaccines should be taken based on individual doctors' advice, rather than established scientific consensus. This approach signals an increasingly skeptical and hostile attitude towards routine vaccines from the Trump administration. The article suggests that this change in the ACIP's position is a dramatic departure from its previous role, which was to provide evidence-based guidance on vaccine recommendations for the US population. The article does not provide further details on the specific reasons or motivations behind this reconsideration of all vaccine recommendations.
