So, KTTC asked Mayo Clinic for its response to the change. It did not expressly comment on the CDC’s action but spoke more broadly on the topic of the importance of vaccines. Note: Unfortunately, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has control of the CDC which used to provide sound advice on vaccinations. He has gone contrary to what vaccine studies have shown, and against pediatricians and other doctors advice regarding vaccinations. He is also regarded as an anti-vaccine activist. This is alarming because Robert Kennedy does not hold any medical related degrees. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. holds no degrees in the medical field: Harvard University: BA in American History and Literature. University of Virginia School of Law: J.D. (Law Degree). Pace University School of Law: LL.M. (Master's in Environmental Law). I do not recommend taking Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s advice on anything medical related - talk to your health care provider instead. Don't take advice from a lawyer when it comes to the medical needs of you, your child, or your family.

A two-year-old girl in Georgia has been left paralyzed after suffering a rare condition brought on after she contracted the flu, according to her parents. Sara Lopez, 2, fell victim to transverse myelitis, a disorder the Mayo Clinic describes as being triggered by influenza and other ailments that target body tissue. According to the clinic, transverse myelitis interrupts the messages sent from the spinal cord to the rest of the body. This can result in pain, muscle loss, and, as happened to Sara, paralysis.
