The United States has long been an outlier among first-world nations in terms of how many vaccines it pushes on its children, recommending that kids receive more than twice as many doses as generally given their European counterparts.
In a decision that has some medical establishmentarians fuming, the Trump administration has greatly reduced the number of vaccines recommended for American children, leaving the decision on the remainder up to families and their doctors.
'We are aligning the US childhood vaccine schedule with international consensus.'
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. noted that "after an exhaustive review of the evidence, we are aligning the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with international consensus while strengthening transparency and informed consent. This decision protects children, respects families, and rebuilds trust in public health."
The agency has reduced its list of vaccination recommendations for all children to jabs for the following 11 diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (whooping cough), Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcal conjugate, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, human papillomavirus, and chickenpox.
Here is the new childhood immunization schedule for all children:
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
The agency now recommends on an individual basis: RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, meningococcal B, meningococcal ACWY, and dengue vaccines for "high-risk groups" and rotavirus, meningococcal disease, influenza, and COVID-19 vaccines.

Last Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens lost 24-26 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after rookie kicker Tyler Loop missed a 44-yard field goal as time expired. The loss has fans angry and analysts confused. In the play prior, head coach John Harbaugh ordered quarterback Lamar Jackson to kneel (causing a loss of yards) instead of running the ball with Ravens superstar running back Derrick Henry to shorten the field goal attempt for the inexperienced kicker.
This head-scratcher combined with other examples brings Jason Whitlock, BlazeTV’s resident sports critic, to one conclusion: “John Harbaugh hates Derrick Henry.”
On this episode of “Fearless,” Whitlock and contributors Steve Kim and Jay Skapinac unpack why they believe Harbaugh’s repeated decisions to sideline Henry in critical moments reveal a deeper coaching flaw.
“You settle for a 44-yard field goal in the wind in Pittsburgh? ... Are you kidding me?” Whitlock asks in shock. “You just watched [Steelers' veteran kicker Chris Boswell] miss an extra point, and you got a timeout and the best running back in football, Derrick Henry, and you don't give him a carry to see if you can take three, four, five, maybe 10 yards off that field goal?”
He argues that this is a “fireable offense” for Harbaugh because it’s not the first time he’s neglected to use the most powerful player on his roster.
Two weeks ago during the Ravens’ game against the New England Patriots, Harbaugh kept Henry on the bench during the final two drives, despite his early fourth-quarter touchdown, 128 rushing yards, and overall dominance in the game.
“It goes further than that,” says Kim.
Henry “should have had actually 10 more carries” in the game against the Steelers, he argues.
“Lamar Jackson — look, he seems to be banged up. He's not the athlete he was. He's probably on a slight descent in terms of being able to evade and run away from people. ... Derrick Henry from the very first drive of that game seemed to be ripping off large chunks of yardage,” he continues.
“He's the type of back that as the games go on, he body punches you, and he takes away your will and your willingness to get in his way, and I thought the whole game they should have been riding him. Jason, I think the issue goes far beyond getting another carry or two in the last minute.”
Skapinac agrees that Henry is being underutilized by Harbaugh. Even though the Super Bowl-winning coach has a stellar resume, his “message has staled.”
“He's worn his welcome. It's time to move on,” he says.

Boys and girls are different.
It’s one of the most self-evident truths there is. Entire libraries of jokes, novels, films, and essays exist because of it, all orbiting the same basic observation: Boys and girls — and later, men and women — are not interchangeable.
The things I have learned about how the female mind works could have been very helpful when I was dating but are now no use to me. That’s funny. God is a poet.
Of course, society doesn’t really like to talk about this basic fact of life these days. I'm far from the first person to point this out, so I'll spare you another screed calling for a return to common sense. If you're reading this, I suspect we're on the same page anyway.
Gender revealAs a normal, thinking person with functional brain, I have always known boys and girls are different. I had a sister growing up, dated girls when I was younger, met my wife and somehow convinced her to marry me and even have children with me. So I understood that there was something about women I just couldn’t quite get, some different way of thinking and feeling that I couldn’t really understand.
But it’s funny: I didn’t realize just how immovably different boys and girls are — and how beautiful this difference is — until I became a father to both.
Looking back, I realize I carried an unconscious assumption that the differences between men and women were learned somewhere along the way — socially instilled rather than baked in at the deepest level imaginable.
This wasn’t because I was a liberal before having kids; I’ve been a conservative for essentially my entire adult life. It was because I was raised in the aftermath of an idea that insisted men and women are basically the same. We are all modern now, and even those of us who resist that worldview absorb its signals over time. They work their way quietly into how we see the world, and the only way to fully dislodge them is an encounter with reality.
Snips and snailsOur son is such a boy.
I don’t know how else to put it. My wife and I say it to one another all the time. He checks all the boxes. He was obsessed with construction equipment when he was really little, then dinosaurs and dragons, and then tools. He loves building things, and he loves destroying things. He loves swords and shields and Nerf guns too. And frantically wrestling with me when he should be falling asleep soundly.
He’s more focused on things than people; he is blunt and too smart for his own good; he loves to argue and litigate. He hates “Let It Go” from "Frozen," and when my daughter asks my wife to play it, he covers his ears and walks away. He doesn’t want to describe an emotional part in a story to us and pretended not to cry when Mufasa died in "The Lion King." He is such a boy.
Sugar and spiceOur daughter is such a girl.
She is emotional. So emotional. She cries during movies, and she isn’t embarrassed about it. If she had her way, she would change her clothes ten times over the course of any given Tuesday. She loves carrying a little purse around. She wants to get her ears pierced like Mom. She loves our new baby and always wants to hold her. She pretends her stuffed dog is her baby and that she is a mom too.
She is so sweet, just so sweet. So much sweeter than our son. He is a callous grump compared to her. She wants to help us; she tries to help him; she says after sharing some of her dessert with him that she wants him to be happy. She is so pretty, so sweet, and so emotional. She is such a girl.

Default settingsNobody taught them these things. Yeah, we run a traditional household, but they started acting the way they act long before we ever told them anything, and it’s so obvious that the way they are is such a part of their very essence that we know for a fact nothing we ever did made them the way they are deep down. They just are that way. They are boys and girls.
I’ve learned so many things from them. I’ve learned that guys really are just naturally blunt. It isn’t just a lack of manners; it’s our default setting. The things I've learned about how the female mind works could have been very helpful when I was dating but are now no use to me. That’s funny. God is a poet.
I’ve also learned, in a deeper sense, that we cannot be all things. Boys are boys, and that means all the good things and all the bad. Girls are girls, and that means all the good things and all the bad.
That can’t be changed. It’s the nature of the world. It’s how it’s supposed to be. Women and their ways can be frustrating to men, and men and their ways can be frustrating to women. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them, as the old saying goes. But seeing how pure and true it all is, how deeply embedded in their spirits these predilections are, I have begun to just sit back and marvel at the incredible balance God struck when he made man and woman.
Indeed, boys and girls are different.

Two illegal alien truck drivers who obtained commercial driver's licenses from California are accused of smuggling $7 million worth of cocaine across the Midwest.
'Sanctuary policies put American lives at risk.'
Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Sunday lodged detainers against 25-year-old Gurpreet Singh and 30-year-old Jasveer Singh after local authorities arrested the two Indian nationals in Putnam County, Indiana.
The men were driving a semitruck along I-70 when an Indiana State Police trooper pulled them over for a routine traffic stop on Saturday, according to local reports.
The trooper's K-9 unit gave a positive alert, prompting the officer to conduct a more thorough search of the truck. The trooper allegedly discovered 309 pounds of cocaine hidden in the truck's sleeper berth.
The men were reportedly traveling from Joplin, Missouri, to Richmond, Indiana.
They were charged with a Level 2 felony of dealing narcotics.

The Department of Homeland Security reported that the men were allegedly smuggling enough drugs to kill over 113,000 Americans.
Gurpreet Singh illegally entered the U.S. in March 2023 and was released into the country by the Biden administration. The DHS reported that he admitted to law enforcement that he was illegally in the U.S.
Jasveer Singh illegally entered the country in March 2017. He was arrested in San Bernardino, California, in December for allegedly receiving stolen property. ICE placed a detainer against him, but California did not honor it, and he was released from local custody.

The DHS blamed California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom's policies for allowing the illegal aliens to obtain CDLs amid growing concerns about the surge of unqualified foreign nationals in the American trucking industry. Newsom's office has repeatedly rebutted these criticisms by claiming that California's CDLs for foreign nationals are issued in compliance with federal guidelines, based on work authorization documents provided by the U.S. government.
"Thanks to Gavin Newsom's reckless policies, these two criminal illegal aliens were granted commercial driver's licenses by the state of California and were arrested for trafficking a whopping 300 pounds of cocaine inside a semi-truck," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated. "Gavin Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians even refused to honor an arrest detainer on one of these criminal illegal aliens in December. Sanctuary policies put American lives at risk. ICE law enforcement lodged arrest detainers to ensure these drug traffickers are not allowed back into American communities."

The small Caribbean island nation of Dominica has come to an agreement with the United States as the nation works to resolve some broader restrictions President Trump placed on it late last year.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit announced Monday that Dominica will begin accepting foreigners seeking asylum in the United States, the Associated Press reported.
'The prime minister still has not told the Dominican public what exactly he has agreed to.'
However, many details about the deal are still unknown, including the number of asylum seekers and whether Dominica has the capacity to absorb them, according to Thomson Fontaine, the leader of the country's main opposition party, the United Workers Party.
“The prime minister still has not told the Dominican public what exactly he has agreed to, in terms of the numbers of persons that are going to come to Dominica, where will they be housed, how will they be taken care of,” Fontaine told the AP.

Dominica has a population of merely 72,000 people.
Skerrit did not provide details about the deal when asked by Fox News, but he did confirm that he has been in ongoing discussions with U.S. officials after the broader visa limitations were announced on December 16.
President Trump announced entry restrictions on several countries last month, including partial restrictions on Dominica. These visa restrictions went into effect on January 1.
