RFK Jr. fires leaders of group that sets guidelines for health screenings

The Trump administration has fired the two leaders of an influential health group that determines when insurance must provide free preventive care like mammograms for millions of Americans. In letters dated May 11, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. praised the service of the leaders of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force but said he was ending their appointments immediately. The panel sets guidelines for cancer screenings and other preventive care, and those it deems supported by strong enough scientific evidence must be covered by insurance without a co-pay.

New parents are shunning proven preventive care for their infants in effort to be 'natural'

Doctors across the nation are alarmed that skepticism fueled by rising anti-science sentiment and medical mistrust is increasingly reaching beyond vaccines to other safe and routine care for babies. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that refusals of vitamin K shots rose steeply between 2017 and 2024. Those shots can prevent potentially deadly bleeding. A subsequent research review found that U.S. parents who declined vitamin K shots were 90 times more likely to also refuse the hepatitis B vaccine and an eye ointment that can prevent potentially blinding infections. Pediatricians say these refusals put their youngest patients at grave risk.

Stop Watering It Down: Why Diluting Mouthwash Is False Frugality and Self-Sabotage
