- California and 14 other states filed suit against HHS and the CDC to overturn a January directive that narrowed routine vaccine guidance for children.
- The directive, authored by Jay Bhattacharya, Mehmet Oz and Marty Makary, recommended routinely endorsing only six diseases while leaving other vaccines to provider judgment or high-risk determinations.
- State officials argued the change bypassed federal law and scientific evidence and warned it could cause more preventable outbreaks and higher state expenses, including increased Medicaid spending and costs to counter misinformation.
- The complaint names Kennedy, O’Neill, HHS and the CDC as defendants while California rehired fired federal medical advisers and coordinated vaccine policies with Western states.
