Go Retire Psychiatrist

I missed the recent notice in the last couple of days that the CDC ACIP meeting was postponed for today and tomorrow. Me and more than a couple dozen people were kept waiting for a half hour before I got suspicious and looked it up. There’s a CIDRAP story posted yesterday that explains the “delay.”

There was a federal district judge ruling two days ago “…temporarily blocks every major vaccine policy change made by President Trump’s administration over the past year. The ruling came in response to the ongoing lawsuit filed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and five other major medical organizations against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”

There is no message on the CDC ACIP webcast site about this and at the moment I’m writing this, there are still 41 people waiting for the YouTube webcast. I figured they were just getting coffee and bagels. There should have been an announcement by the CDC ACIP.

No wonder there was no agenda.
