West Coast Governors Form Coalition to Reject Trump’s Disease Control Media Vaccine Rules

Three Democratic governors on the West Coast are gradually avoiding President Donald TrumpHealth Agenda – The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) move is rooted in “pandemic political failure.”

The governor’s decision to reject Trump’s CDC rules and develop his own vaccine guidelines could contradict national policies to federal guidance.

“The Democratic Party operated pointed out that it promoted unscientific school lockdowns during this period, authorization of young children’s masks and severe vaccine passports Covid era HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon told Fox News on Thursday that the numbers completely eroded the trust American people have in public health agencies.

Nixon added that the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) “still be the country’s scientific system guided immunity recommendation” and that the health sector will ensure that policies are based on strict evidence and gold standard science. ”

All 17 members of ACIP were fired in June HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. swear “Restore public trust” in vaccine guidance.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek and Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson formed the West Coast Health Alliance Wednesday, just the day before Kennedy testified before the Senate Finance Committee. The hearing happened a month after CDC director Susan Monarez was fired.

“President Trump’s massive dismissal of doctors and scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and his blatant politicization of institutions – is a direct attack on the health and safety of the American people,” the governor said in a joint statement. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has become a political tool that increasingly peddled ideology rather than science, which will lead to serious health consequences. California, Oregon, and Washington People in our states are not allowed to be threatened. ”

Governor’s plan is ignored CDC Guide Under Trump, his own coordinated vaccine and health guidelines will be released in his state, based on medical groups such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology. If finalized, the coalition could build a duel health system, where millions of residents in California, Oregon and Washington follow state vaccine recommendations that may conflict with federal guidance.

“Through this partnership, the three states will begin to coordinate health guidelines through immunization advice informed by respected national medical organizations,” a press release on the Newsom website said.

Tribal states will continue to exercise full sovereignty over the vaccine program, noting that the alliance will not interfere with federally recognized tribes’ power to formulate their own health policies, the release said.

The CDC has turmoil after the Trump administration moved to the agency’s clean house, fired hundreds of employees and demolished departments that have long been accused of politically biased. In late August, CDC director Susan Monarez was removed less than a month after resisting new vaccine directives, triggering a wave of resignations from senior officials.

According to the Washington Post, anonymous CDC officials said HHS leaders, including Kennedy Jr., urged Monares to withdraw approval for certain COVID-19-19-19 vaccines. When she refused to move forward, government officials told her that she had to resign or face termination. Monarez has since retained lawyers Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell Said before She “neither resigned nor was fired.”

The Blue Country said the new policy will be completed in the coming weeks.
