Ars Technicameddling, anti-vaccine

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued its own 2026 Maternal Immunization Schedule on Wednesday recommending influenza, COVID-19, Tdap, and RSV vaccines during pregnancy. This schedule diverges from current CDC guidance, which recommends only Tdap and RSV. ACOG President Camille Clare stated that the organization aims to provide reliable, evidence-based information.

How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

ACOG’s schedule counters CDC narrowing of recommendations under Secretary Kennedy Jr. by maintaining evidence-based protection for pregnant patients.

“Institutional resistance to federal vaccine policy shifts”

Conservative

ACOG’s independent schedule bypasses CDC adjustments that reflect updated scrutiny of influenza and COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy.

“Specialty groups resisting federal restraint on legacy recommendations”

Libertarian

ACOG’s action creates competing sources of guidance, reducing reliance on centralized CDC authority and supporting individual risk assessment.

“Decentralized expertise versus government monopoly on protocols”

Devil's Advocate

All three perspectives treat the split as politically driven without examining primary data, organizational incentives, or routine schedule maintenance.

“Shared premise that the divergence is a deliberate break rather than technical or inertial difference”
