Yesterday marked a moment that few thought we would ever see.
The CDC formally adopted a revised childhood and adolescent immunization schedule following a Presidential Memorandum directing federal agencies to align U.S. policy with international best practices.
The result is the largest rollback of routine childhood vaccination in U.S. history.
After reviewing peer-country schedules and the scientific evidence behind them, federal health leadership has effectively acknowledged what parents and advocates have been saying for years: American children have been hyper-vaccinated.
The new schedule dramatically reduces the number of vaccines labeled “routine for all children,” cutting approximately 55 routine doses.
This is a major victory for informed consent, parental rights, and medical liberty.
It’s important to be clear about what this change does and does not do. No vaccines were banned. None were removed from availability. Instead, vaccines lacking international consensus have been reclassified away from “routine for all children.”
That distinction matters because “routine” status has long been used to justify pressure, coercion, and the erosion of true informed consent.
At the same time, this change does not mean the remaining routine vaccines are “safe by default.” These products still lack long-term, placebo-controlled safety trials, have never been evaluated as a cumulative schedule, and continue to raise serious concerns—particularly when administered during critical periods of development.
Still, this decision represents a historic course correction.
For the first time in modern history, federal policy has moved closer to proportion, transparency, and accountability. That door is now open, and Texans for Vaccine Choice will continue pushing it wider until real safety science, real informed consent, and real medical liberty are fully restored.
