Blue states are pushing back against a Trump administration health policy, continuing to advocate for COVID-19 shots for children and pregnant women despite federal guidance warning against the dangers.
At a glance:
• Democratic states including California, Oregon, and Washington are defying federal guidance on COVID vaccines
• Health Secretary RFK Jr. removed COVID boosters from CDC recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women
• The decision was based on lack of clinical data and aligns with European countries’ more cautious approach
• Democrat-run states insist on continuing to recommend these vaccines despite federal guidance
• Medical experts are divided, with some supporting vaccination and others citing insufficient safety data
Democrat States Defy Federal Health Guidance
Officials from California, Oregon, and Washington have announced they will continue recommending COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women and children, directly opposing updated CDC guidance. The decisions follow Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s May announcement removing these recommendations from federal guidelines, a move that aligns with Trump’s promise to bring scientific integrity back to American health agencies.
The announcement marks a significant political divide over public health policy, with Democrat-controlled states refusing to follow federal health guidance under the Trump administration. Kennedy’s decision was supported by FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and NIH head Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, bringing top health officials together in a unified stance against what they described as unwarranted mass vaccination.

This comes just as he canceled recommending COVID vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women.

Science vs. Politics in Vaccine Decisions
“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the Covid vaccine shot for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule,” Kennedy stated during the official announcement.
The decision follows what many conservatives have long argued – that COVID vaccination policies under Biden lacked proper scientific backing and placed politics above medical evidence.
Dr. Humphries then discussed the insanity that doctors are giving 6 month old babies the Covid vaccine.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya praised the move as representing “common sense and good science,” noting that most Western European countries only recommend COVID vaccines for high-risk children. Meanwhile, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which has financial ties to vaccine manufacturers, continues to claim the vaccines are “safe during pregnancy” despite FDA acknowledgment that safety data is insufficient.
An HHS spokesman reinforced the administration’s position: “Americans deserve to make health decisions based on their individual circumstances—not under pressure from politicized institutions or rigid, one-size-fits-all mandates.”
Legal Questions and Healthcare Implications
Legal experts from left-leaning institutions have questioned Kennedy’s authority to make these changes, claiming the decision circumvents traditional CDC processes. The move could potentially impact insurance coverage for COVID vaccines, affecting approximately half of Americans with private insurance who rely on CDC recommendations for coverage determinations.
The CDC website initially continued showing the previous recommendations after Kennedy’s announcement, creating confusion about the official policy. Democrat-run states are using this administrative confusion as justification to maintain their own guidance, creating a patchwork of health recommendations across the country that could lead to public confusion.
