Intro

The Australian Government has updated its COVID vaccination guidelines website and one line in particular is grabbing a lot of attention.

It says in big bold text: "healthy infants, children and adolescents aged under 18 are not recommended to receive COVID-19 vaccine"

Vaccine sceptics are calling it a backflip. Proof, they say, that the science is finally catching up with what they've claimed all along.

This has been fuelled by the US Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, announcing that millions of people no longer need routine COVID shots.

But is that true? Or is this another case of misinformation spreading faster than the facts?
