"The AAP's vaccine schedule diverges from the CDC schedule under Kennedy on the recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines. After Kennedy's unilateral change, the CDC no longer recommends routine COVID-19 vaccination for healthy children, but allows for the shots after a conversation with a child's doctor. In contrast, the AAP—the largest pediatrics association in the country—recommends the shots for all children ages 6 months to 23 months, as well as high-risk children aged 2 to 18. Children not in these age or risk groups should also have access to the shots if desired, the AAP guidance says."

Is there like a standardized risk scale for understanding odds in medicine? I mean, I probably have a 1 in a million chance of dying every month I choose to drive regularly, but if I were to argue with an anti-vaxxer, or try to determine my own risk tolerance, has someone developed a standardized way of understanding risk/odds? At what level do you say "This is a risky vaccine"?

The CDC's recommendations align with European health authorities.

Why does the AAP feel that the CDC and Europe's guidelines are too conservative?
