The Spin

Democratic narrative

Kennedy's anti-vaccine crusade has shattered the scientific consensus, replacing expert recommendations with confusing state-by-state policies. This reckless approach puts lives at risk in advance of inevitable winter surges.

Republican narrative

The CDC has finally restored informed consent by ending blanket COVID booster mandates that ignored individual risk factors. The previous one-size-fits-all approach deterred doctors from discussing the real risks and benefits of vaccines with patients. This evidence-based shift protects Americans from unnecessary medical interventions.
