Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made good on his promises about the COVID-19 vaccine, revealing an end to the emergency authorization that was used to justify the mandates forced on the American public.
In a lengthy post on X on Wednesday, the HHS Secretary wrote out a list of the four things he wanted to accomplish on the job to right the wrongs when it comes to the vaccine.
"I promised 4 things: 1. to end COVID vaccine mandates. 2. to keep vaccines available to people who want them, especially the vulnerable," RFK Jr. wrote. 3. to demand placebo-controlled trials from companies. 4. to end the emergency."

He said with a series of FDA actions on Wednesday, he's now done just that.
The emergency use authorizations for COVID vaccines, once used to justify broad mandates on the general public during the Biden administration, are now rescinded.
FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+). These vaccines are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.
"The American people demanded science, safety, and common sense. This framework delivers all three," Kennedy concluded, as he thanked FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary for his leadership.
The new actions are just the latest in the HHS Secretary's promise to Make America Healthy Again, which President Donald Trump endorsed on the campaign trail and has followed up on since returning to office in January.

It comes after RFK Jr. recently called out the corporate influences Big Pharma has when it comes to children's vaccines, after the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) decided to issue its own recommendation urging that all kids ages six to 23 months get a COVID-19 vaccine, RedState reported.

As he stated, AAP's recommendation now stands in direct contrast to what the HHS has advised when Kennedy announced the removal of the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immunization schedule, as RedState reported.
So much winning and it's only been six months!
