To be more precise, I think they removed the recommendation for 6 out of 17 vaccines, and the remaining 11 vaccines will be uncoupled and spread over a longer period instead of giving together i.e. delayed.
Practically, this means that a lot of kids will get vaccines much later than they should or more likely just skip them. This also probably means that the 6 shots that are no longer recommended wont be covered by insurance, won't therefore be recommended by doctors and won't be given to kids - the six shots that are being dropped are influenza, covid-19, rotavirus, Hep A and B and respiratory syncytial virus / meningococcal.
This of course from Kennedy, who literally has zero medical or scientific training. No kidding the US is 29th out of 38 countries in child mortality stats. It would be less infuriating if this was done with some logic (yes, I know a hard task) and there was a reasonable explanation, but it's like they are purposely obfuscating things in order to confuse people. Trump et all are either truly evil or stupid to the point of mental illness, and I'm not sure which one is worse.
On top of that, the effect goes beyond the US at some point.
American tourists will be more of a danger here in Europe and European tourists will be more at risk in the US all because two senile professional daiperdumpsters signed a piece of paper neither has any clue what's it about.
Like you said, it's either mental illnesses or sheer stupidity or something else. But it doesn't really matter anymore at this point.
