A CDC advisory panel voted Friday to shift COVID vaccine guidance toward "individual decision-making," a policy the agency refers to as "shared clinical decision-making."The approach involves physicians, nurses and pharmacists and keeps shots covered under major payment programs including Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP and private insurance. The recommendation encourages patients to talk with their doctors about whether to get an updated shot instead of recommending it for everyone six months and older.The panel voted 11 to 1 to strengthen informed consent by adding language to vaccine information sheets that highlights "risks and uncertainties."The CDC said the risk-benefit of vaccination in people under 65 is most favorable for those at increased risk for severe COVID-19, and lowest for those who are not at increased risk, based on its list of COVID-19 risk factors.DR. MARC SIEGEL: WITH VACCINES, PERSONAL CHOICE ENDS WHERE COMMUNITY RISK BEGINSMembers also backed language urging providers to discuss COVID vaccination in light of a patients prior infections, immunosuppression and other conditions."We really encourage the CDC to find the right language to communicate these risks and uncertainties to patients and medical providers," said Dr. Retsef Levi of MIT Sloan. "So we can actually have the appropriate informed consent and discussion of risk and benefits that are realistic to the current knowledge and the current gaps in knowledge that we currently face."But the most controversial proposal, to require a prescription for the COVID shot, failed after a 66 split vote, with ACIP chair Martin Kulldorff breaking the tie by voting no.REPUBLICAN DOCTORS CLASH WITH RFK JR OVER VACCINES IN TENSE SENATE SHOWDOWN"Im strongly opposed to a requirement for the prescription," said Dr. Cody Meissner of Dartmouth. "Requiring a prescription is going to become a big barrier to administration of this vaccine. If a person wants it for himself or herself or her children, they should be able to get it without a prescription."Levi pressed for the opposite approach. "We feel that these vaccines should now be prescribed as a prescription," he said. "Since we are not talking about an emergency situation, we think its appropriate to bring it to something that is being discussed between a physician or medical provider and a patient."Others warned that restricting access would undermine trust. "Science supports the COVID-19 vaccine works," said Dr. Henry Bernstein of the Zucker School of Medicine. "It is incredibly safe and effective. But the vaccine also must be easily accessible for everyone who wants it. The need for a provider prescription creates an incredibly unnecessary step to receiving a vaccine and does not effectively target those at high risk."The panel also voted 12 to 0 to update the pediatric and adult immunization schedule to reflect "individualized decision-making" for FDA-approved COVID vaccines.The decisions mark a sharp break from previous CDC guidance, which had broadly recommended updated COVID shots for all Americans six months and older.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"I commend the committee for bringing overdue scientific debate on vaccination to the American people," said Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services and CDC Acting Director Jim ONeill.The CDC referred Fox News Digital to a Sept. 19 CDC press release.

A famous clip resurfaced of legendary late-night host Johnny Carson defending his right to avoid bringing up "serious issues" on his talk show, arguing there is a danger in hosts like him being too self-important and swaying the public.Carson was a prolific television host and comedian, best known for hosting "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" from 1962 to 1992. He became a cultural icon with his clever wit, at-ease interviewing style and his aid in launching the careers of numerous stars. Remembered as the "King of Late Night," Carson is widely considered the gold standard for modern late-night talk show hosts.In the resurfaced clip from 1979, "60 Minutes" interviewer Mike Wallace voiced a critique made by some at the time that Carson would "never take a serious controversy," which Carson had an immediate answer for.JAY LENO CRITICIZES MODERN LATE-NIGHT COMEDY FOR ALIENATING HALF THE AUDIENCE WITH PARTISAN POLITICS"Now, tell me the last time that Jack Benny, Red Skelton, any comedian, used his show to do serious issues. That's not what I'm there for. Can't they see that?" Carson replied. "Why do they think that just because you have a Tonight Show, that you must deal in serious issues?"That's a danger. It's a real danger. Once you start that, you start to get that self-important feeling that what you say has great import. And you know, strangely enough, you could use that show as a forum. You could sway people. And I don't think you should as an entertainer."CBS HOST POURS COLD WATER ON LIBERAL OUTRAGE TO COLBERT CANCELLATION, SAYS LATE-NIGHT INDUSTRY IS 'BROKEN'CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe clip has gone viral as many debate the decline of late-night talk show viewership, particularly as many of its hosts, such as Jimmy Kimmel of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," have become preachy about their personal politics in recent years.CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert and Kimmel have raised money for the Democratic Party in recent years and made their programs openly supportive of its causes.Colbert's show will go off the air in May, reportedly because it was hemorrhaging money.Kimmel's show was suspended by ABC this week after the host's controversial remarks about the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk that suggested he was a MAGA supporter rather than a leftist. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) suggested it could take action before two major local ABC affiliate owners announced they were preempting Kimmel's program and forced Disney's hand.

Bill Simmons, CEO of The Ringer, is the latest sports personality to weigh in on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension from ABC.On Monday, Kimmel accused "the MAGA gang" of reaching "new lows" in "trying to characterize" Charlie Kirk assassination suspect Tyler Robinson "as anything other than one of them."Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr pushed for Disney, ABC's parent company, to address the controversy. Simmons noted Rolling Stone reporting that ABC executives who did not feel Kimmel crossed a line were afraid of retaliation by the Trump administration.Carr was appointed by Trump before his first term, then again by Biden and once more by Trump upon reelection.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMWith that report in his back pocket, noting the potential merger between Nexstar and Tegna and the Trump administration's involvement, Simmons outwardly called Kimmel's removal "censorship" rather than "cancel culture," which he said will happen throughout Trump's presidency."[Kimmel] can still have that platform wherever he wants because hes the platform," Simmons said on his self-named podcast. "And thats the difference in this. And thats why I dont think this is quite as scary and terrible as maybe it felt this week. Yeah, were gonna have censorship. Yeah, stupid s--- like this apparently is gonna keep happening for the next three years. Yeah, the discourse is the ugliest its ever been."But I still feel like if somebodys good enough to have a platform, they can find it. So, I hope Jimmys show sticks around, and I hope ABC sticks by him. And I think if they dont, I think it would be pretty cowardly. I dont think thats a crazy thing to say. But if they dont stick by him and this is the end, I think hes gonna be fine. Hell find another platform somewhere, and hell figure out how to get all his content out in the right ways. And I would not bet against that dude."FORMER ESPN HOST RIPS DISNEY'S BOB IGER FOR 'STATE-RUN MEDIA' MOVE ON JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW DECISIONSimmons wrote for Kimmel's show in its early days, and their friendship has remained "for 24 years." Before his diatribe, Simmons admitted he sides with Kimmel "with most stuff."Kimmels comments came one day after both FBI officials and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said Robinson held a "leftist ideology" and was increasingly radicalized in recent years. It was also revealed that he had a romantic relationship with a transgender partner who was biologically male and transitioning to female.Nexstar Media Group, which owns hundreds of television stations, announced earlier it would preempt Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates starting Wednesday night "for the foreseeable future" and would replace it with other programming over his comments about Robinson.Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was shot and killed last week while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University.

President Donald Trump on Friday credited the late Charlie Kirk while announcing a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping to keep TikTok available in the U.S.Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, Trump shared that he had a successful phone call with Jinping on Friday morning in which he reached a deal to keep the social media platform available to American users by divesting some of its ownership to U.S. business leaders.He said that Chinese leaders, American youth and even conservative leaders wanted to keep the platform available in the U.S."The TikTok deal is well on its way," he said.CHARLIE KIRK CREDITED WITH HELPING TRUMP GAIN SIGNIFICANT GROUND WITH YOUNG VOTERSHe noted the platform's popularity among American youth and emphasized that Kirk encouraged its use to engage with young people."Charlie was very much in favor of TikTok; he liked TikTok," he added. "He said, you know, you should use it."Trump credited Kirk for leveraging social media platforms like TikTok to get "massive numbers of youth" out to vote for him and Republicans in 2024."If you take a look at my numbers, no Republican has ever done anything like it. We got massive numbers of youth, and by the way, helped very much by Charlie Kirk," he said, adding, "It probably had a pretty big effect on the election because we won the election by a lot."TPUSA INSIDER: ERIKA KIRK IS 'ABSOLUTE FORCE' READY TO GROW GROUP '10X' AFTER TRAGEDYThis comes as Trump has repeatedly delayed implementing a law passed by Congress in 2024 to ban TikTok in the U.S. unless it divests its ownership of U.S. operations from China to America.Following his negotiations with Jinping, Trump said TikToks U.S. operations will be "controlled by very powerful and very substantial American people, all American.""Its a great deal for our country. It's a great deal for all of the young people in the country and for people generally," he said.Trump acknowledged his initial opposition to TikTok, saying, "I wasn't a fan of TikTok, and then I got to use it, and I became a fan, and it helped me win the election in a landslide."WHITE HOUSE RELEASES VIDEO TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE KIRK"I had a great call with President Xi and, as you know, we approved the TikTok deal, and we're in the process.

Patrick Beverley never received NBA All-Star honors and hasn't played in the league in more than a calendar year. But the former Milwaukee Bucks player remains one of basketball's most outspoken voices.Atlanta Hawks guard and four-time All-Star Trae Young became Beverley's latest target of criticism. Beverley initially questioned the level of intensity some NBA players seemingly have during the league's annual All-Star Game. Beverley juxtaposed his theory with the perceived effort many of those same players put on display during open runs at gyms across the country during the offseason."Because All-Stars take the game for granted. Not 1 All-Star on the court. good bump," wrote on X last week.The message prompted a sharp response from Young, who instructed Beverley to "relax" and let players speak for themselves. A few days later, Beverley mentioned Young on an episode of "The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I don't think he's won enough to even speak to me like that or tweet me like that," Beverley said."He's been to the playoffs three times. I've been to the playoffs nine [times]. He's been in the NBA seven years. My first seven years I didn't miss the playoffs at all in the Western Conference," he said. "His rebuttal's probably going to be, 'Yeah you weren't the main player on the team.' Absolutely right. But this is why it's a team."Beverley also noted that he had conversations with former Hawks players who competed alongside Young. Beverley cited Young's alleged leadership issues when he mentioned that several of those athletes were not fond of playing in Atlanta.BUCKS' PATRICK BEVERLEY DISCUSSES HIS VIOLENT PASS INTO STANDS: 'SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED'"They don't think he's a good leader. They don't think he's a good teammate. ... Trae, you could score all the points you want," he said. "You could make all the money you want. You could have all the leading assists you want. You could do all that. If you don't win, that s--t won't matter. If you don't win, when you retire, they're going to forget your name. Fast, too."On Wednesday, Young took to his social media platform to address Beverley's comments. During the nearly 12-minute video, Young suggested Beverley "doesn't know what it's like" to be in his position.Young also demanded Beverley name the former teammates he claimed had issues during their time with the Hawks."State your source. Which teammate of mine told [you] that it's the Trae Hawks, it ain't the Atlanta Hawks?" Young said. "Because I would tell you myself, I have a lot of teammates I keep in touch with. A lot. A lot that I know you know. So I want you to state your source."Young also took aim at Beverley's emotional reaction to the Minnesota Timberwolves defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in a 2022 play-in tournament game. Beverley played for the Timberwolves that season, but wore a Clippers jersey in the four prior seasons."We not even gonna talk about how we celebrate play-in wins," he said. "I win play-in games on the road, and I'm ready to get to the playoffs. You win play-in games at home, and you standing on the scorer's table acting like it's a championship. We celebrate wins different, too."Young ended by stating he has "nothing but love" for Beverley and hinted he would be willing to talk to the former Bucks player.The Hawks social media team jumped into the fray by sharing a compilation video that highlighted Young scoring as Beverley played defense.Beverley added more fuel to the fire on Thursday by accusing Young of putting up "empty stats." Beverley also took aim at Young's abilities on the defensive end of the court."Humble yourself. Embrace the constructive criticism," Beverley said. "Get better at that and move the f--- on. We don't have to keep going back like this a motherf---g YouTube debate. Like it ain't that deep."Beverley continued to take jabs at Young's leadership and claimed the 27-year-old guard prefers working out away from the team facility. "Every time we see you, you're working out at another place. We never see you in the Hawks arena working out," he said.Beverley said he ultimately believes the exchanges could serve as a source of motivation for Young."Regardless how it goes, it's going to be good that comes out of this," Beverley said. "Regardless. I hope this is motivating. I hope that you get to the end of the year and you fighting for a motherf---ing playoff."Young averaged 25.3 points and 9.8 assists in seven career regular-season games against Beverley.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
