A pregnant doctor who was denied the covid vaccine demands the Trump administration

A pregnant doctor who was denied a vaccine against COVID-19 has sued the, along with a group of important doctors associations, claiming that the Government has tried to “desensitize the public before the rhetoric anti-Vacunas and anti-scientific”, according to its lawyer.

The demand, he explains specifically points to the unilateral decision of the Secretary of Health, of recommending not to administer vaccines against COVID-19 to pregnant women and healthy children.

Kennedy’s announcement avoided the scientific review panels of experts and dismissed studies that show that pregnant women run a greater risk of contracting the virus, and made it difficult for some people to receive the vaccine.

“This administration is an existential threat to vaccination in the United States, and those who are in charge are just beginning,” said Richard H Hughes IV, a partner of Epstein Becker Green and main lawyer of the plaintiffs in a statement.

The American Pediatrics Academy, the American Medical College and the American Public Health Association are among a list of leading doctors associations appointed as claimants in demand.

“If it is not controlled, Secretary Kennedy will achieve his goal of eliminating vaccines in the US, which would unleash a wave of preventable damage in the childhood of our nation,” Hughes said. “Professional pediatric associations, internist doctors, infectologists, medical specialists in high -risk pregnancies and public health professionals will not stay with crossed arms while our prevention system is dismantled. This ends.”

At the end of May, Kennedy announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would no longer recommend vaccines against COVID-19 for healthy children or pregnant women. The announcement, published on social networks, contradicted numerous tests that show that pregnant women and babies run a particularly high risk of getting the disease, including those provided by the administration’s own scientific leaders.

In June, Kennedy went further by saying goodbye to the 17 members of a key advisory panel on CDC vaccines. This advisory panel is a key link in the vaccine distribution process, since it helps to prepare recommendations used to determine what vaccines to cover.

That panel met for the first time at the end of June. Its members announced that they would review both the child vaccination calendar and any vaccine that would not have been formally reviewed in seven years. They also recommended not using a long -criticized vaccine preservative, despite the lack of evidence of harmful effects.

The news comes in the middle of the largest annual count of measles cases in 33 years, and in the midst of reports that more parents seek early vaccination for their children, for fear that vaccines are scanned or are no longer covered by insurance.
