RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine changes to CDC vaccine guidance blocked by judge

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked most of the damage that anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has done to federal vaccine guidance in his time in office.

In a 45-page ruling that opens with a quote from science communicator Carl Sagan, US District Judge Brian Murphy issued a temporary injunction that blocks:

• The federal vaccine advisors Kennedy appointed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) after firing all 17 expert members.
