CDC Panel REFUSES to Recommend COVID Shots for ALL Americans

Press RoomBy No Comments4 Mins Read

The CDC’s new Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) declined to recommend COVID-19 shots for all Americans on Friday.

Back in June, The Gateway Pundit reported that RFK Jr. dismissed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the federal body that shapes America’s vaccine policy.

Here are just a few names driving left-wing media into a tailspin:

During a tense two-day meeting that stretched into Friday, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) abandoned the broad “everyone 6 months and up” recommendation used in 2023–24 and 2024–25, opting for a risk-based, individual approach.

  • If you’re 65+ or high-risk: FDA says you’re eligible this season; talk with your doctor about timing and benefits.

  • If you’re lower-risk: There’s no blanket CDC recommendation this year; ACIP says the choice should be made with your clinician — not by default for all.

  • No Rx needed: Despite some state/pharmacy confusion, ACIP voted against requiring prescriptions for COVID shots.

Far-left CNN reported:

Vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously on Friday to shift away from a broad recommendation for Covid-19 vaccines to say that people who want one must consult with a health care provider, a process known as shared clinical decision-making.

However, the committee was split on whether to recommend that a prescription for a Covid-19 vaccine should be required. That vote was 6-6; Dr. Martin Kulldorff, the chair of the committee, voted no, which broke the tie.

The committee now says people 65 and older should make the decision about whether to get a Covid-19 vaccine with a doctor or another health care provider. It should be the same for people ages 6 months to 64 years, the vaccine advisers voted, but with “an emphasis that the risk-benefit of vaccination is most favorable for individuals who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease and lowest for individuals who are not at an increased risk, according to the CDC list of COVID-19 risk factors.”

The recommendations are not final; they go to Acting CDC Director Jim O’Neill for approval. O’Neill, a deputy of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s, has led the agency since Dr. Susan Monarez was ousted abruptly last month.

The US Food and Drug Administration has already made significant changes to this season’s shots by limiting approval to adults 65 and older as well as younger people who are at higher risk of severe Covid-19.

Manufacturers themselves acknowledged these limits in late-August announcements.

In August, the Food and Drug Administration rescinded the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for the COVID-19 vaccines, the authorizations that were used to justify medical mandates, lockdowns, and mass coercion under Joe Biden’s failed regime.

The FDA has now granted standard marketing authorization, not emergency approval, for limited populations: Moderna (ages 6+ months), Pfizer (ages 5+), and Novavax (ages 12+). Americans may still access the vaccines if they wish, but only after consultation with their doctors.
