Left melts down over childhood vaccine schedule change — but Sara Gonzales says, 'It’s not enough'
While most MAHA-minded Americans are cheering in light of the CDC’s latest alteration to the U.S. childhood immunization schedule — which dropped from 17 to 11 diseases — BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes it’s “not enough.”“I don’t want that to distract you from applauding what is happening now, because it’s all good changes. He can’t just like totally just bust up the entire system immediately. He’s got to get there,” she explains.The new schedule also doesn’t recommend against getting your children vaccinated for certain diseases but instead breaks a longer list of diseases down into three categories.In the category that’s recommended for all children, there are 11 diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcal conjugate, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, HPV, and varicella.RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningococcal are now in the group that’s “recommended for certain high-risk groups or populations,” and rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, hep A, hep B, and meningococcal are in a third group titled “recommended based on shared clinical decision-making.”“I don’t agree with any of these,” Gonzales says.“So there is still work to be done. However, if they want to stair-step this, the way that they have stair-stepped everything else, they would do it in this way,” she adds.And while Gonzales doesn’t believe the Trump administration has gone far enough, the left of course is claiming it's gone too far.“There’s always the fearmongering. ‘Oh my God, RFK is taking away our right to vaccines. How many children, how many beautiful children are going to be killed because RFK didn’t give them their precious chickenpox shots?’ Well, actually, spoiler alert, zero probably,” Gonzales says.“But let’s just be clear ... no vaccine has been eliminated. OK. The CDC is still requiring insurance companies to cover the vaccines if people want them,” Gonzales says, before playing a clip of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) claiming otherwise.“You promised that you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them,” Warren yelled at RFK Jr.“I know you’ve taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, senator,” he responds.“I’m not taking them away,” he added, while she continued to argue.“Elizabeth Warren,” Gonzales comments, annoyed, “has to be the most insufferable on the Senate side.”“Just the shrill, just like the Karen energy of like her voice makes me want to jump off a building,” she adds.Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Left melts down over childhood vaccine schedule change — but Sara Gonzales says, 'It’s not enough'
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes the CDC's updated childhood immunization schedule, which reduced the number of recommended vaccines, does not go far enough. She argues that while changes are positive, more significant reductions are needed. Gonzales also criticizes Democratic politicians, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, for their reactions to the schedule changes and their perceived ties to pharmaceutical companies.
The CDC has updated the U.S. childhood immunization schedule, reducing the number of recommended vaccines from 17 to 11.
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes this reduction is insufficient and advocates for further decreases.
The new schedule categorizes vaccines into recommended for all children, recommended for high-risk groups, and recommended based on shared clinical decision-making.
Gonzales dismisses fears that removing vaccine recommendations would harm children, citing zero deaths from chickenpox vaccine removal as an example.
Gonzales engages in a debate with Sen. Elizabeth Warren over vaccine policies and pharmaceutical company influence.
