Disease control and prevention centers were ordered that it was promoted for various types of vaccines, urging people to vaccinate against the flu, including a “wild to light” advertisement campaign, two sources by the decision. Told the familiar STAT.
The Department of Health and Human Services for Public Affairs informed the CDC that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior wanted advertisements that promote the idea of ”informed consent” in decision making instead.
The informed consent is the principle that people should be informed about all risks, as well as benefits, they receive any medical intervention or they prescribe any drug. This is the cornerstone of health care distribution.
Transfer of advertising framing for vaccines that CDC has long recommended – such as flu shots – can reduce people’s desire to vaccinate to focus more on possible risks of vaccines, or to your children To immunize.
“Informed Consent is always a necessity,” said Michael Oosterhom, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, Minnesota University. But they suggested to generate the ingredients that increase the risks, especially if they are not set in terms of proven benefits, then the vaccination rates in the country can hurt badly.
The decision to draw a flu shot advertisement is an initial indication of how RFK Junior can transfer the American approach to vaccination as the country’s top health officer. Others also came on Thursday: CDC’s influential vaccine advisory committee postponed a meeting scheduled for next week, and Politico said that RFK Junior could remove some members of that committee and other influential public health bodies, this Claiming that they have struggles for interest.
The state asked HHS whether the CDC was instructed to discontinue the campaign for several vaccines, including the Wild to Mild Flu Vaccine Campaign, and whether HHS Secretary wants replacement that focuses on informed consent .
In an email response, an officer did not answer another question, and denied that the CDC was asked to take down its flu vaccination campaign website – which was not the question asked.
“No, the CDC was not asked to take the flu vaccination campaign webpage down,” the HHS spokesman said. “Unfortunately, the officers inside the CDC who are about the agenda of Secretary Kennedy and President Trump seem to deliberately guide and incorrectly present.”
CDC’s own informative pages on the benefits of flu shots still remain. The materials that told sources that the CDC was instructed to the CDC was for publicity paid on other websites. The versions of those campaigns were earlier visible on some CDC webpages, but no longer posted.
“Flu vaccination can prevent you from getting sick from flu,” is said in one of the remaining pages. “Flu vaccine prevents millions of diseases and flu visits every year.”
In view of the Covid-19 epidemic, there has been a decline in uptake rates for many vaccines. About 23% of adults have got an updated Covid-19 shot. And although this flu season has been spread, about 45% of people have received a flu vaccine in this winter-about five percentage points below the flu in the East-Kovid era.
Kennedy, who has generated adequate income from challenging the safety of vaccines – through paid speeches, books, the founder and chairman of the children’s health protection, and a lawyer as a lawyer as a lawyer The vaccine made sued the manufacturers – repeatedly refused during their senate confirmation. From claims of claims about safety of vaccines, such as the claim that the vaccines are behind the growing autism. At the same time, he said during the hearing that he does not oppose the vaccines.
Although several senators expressed concern about the posts of Kennedy on vaccines, only former Senate leader Mich McConel (R-K), a survivor of polio, voted against Kennedy’s confirmation on the Republican side of the Chamber.
Sen Bill Cassidi (R-La.) Expressed serious reservation about Kennedy during the hearing on his nomination. Cassidi is a physician who strongly supports vaccination. But in the end he voted after receiving the assurance to Kennedy that Kennedy would work within the current system and would not reduce vaccination efforts in the country.
A source told the state that the campaign CDC was ordered to stop the minor outline of money. They include advertisements paid in digital publications or promoted positions on social media platforms, the person said. NPR earlier stated that the “Wild to Mild” campaign was stopped.
Advertisements shown images of fierce and low threatening animals – one gave a teddy beer juice against a grizzly – to convey that even if the flu vaccines do not stop the infection, those who receive them , They are seriously ill and a hospital requires care.
“The flu can be wild. But a flu vaccine can mold both you and your cubs with more serious symptoms of the flu, ”said one of the advertisements aimed at the purpose of pregnant people. “Ask your health care provider about a flu shot during your pregnancy to protect your baby after birth – when they are too young to vaccinate.”
Other recurrences of the campaign were aimed at parents, old status adults, people over 65 years of age and health care professionals.
Now there was no discussion about risks from flu shots in viewable materials on scrubbing webpage.
Flu has some side effects from vaccination, and which are reported-in-injection site reactions, headaches and fatigue are things-alphemky. In some, although not all, over the years, flu vaccination appears to be associated with a slightly higher risk of developing Guilan-Berre syndrome, which is progressive and generally a form of temporary paralysis. When GBS growth has been observed in the season, it is at the rate of about one or two additional cases that administer a million dose of flu vaccine.
Being infected with flu is known to increase the risk of developing GBS. To ensure that people know about the risks of vaccines before receiving them, a vaccine is one of the six parts of the safety scheme that published in 2023 RFK Junior. Already, people receive information printed with the risks of vaccine, before, and for specific vaccines, it is necessary to disclose advertising side effects for specific vaccines.
