Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. On Monday, he rejected all 17 CDC CDC members for immunization practices, a key panel that recommended how to use vaccines. He also announced plans to replace them with his own tips. The decision triggered sharp criticism of leading medical associations and public health organizations.
Although Kennedy did not reveal who would replace the members of the drained panel, he said that the new group would meet in Atlanta in two weeks. Although it is usually not considered a guerrilla council, the entire current list of members of the committee was denominated Biden.
The removal of all 17 Experts Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP) was revealed in the Wall Street OP-ED magazine and an official press release.
Why did RFK remove the panel?
In his Op-Ed Kennedy, he claimed that the panel was “plagued by persistent conflicts of interest” and for any vaccine it became “slightly more than a rubber stamp”.
“Without the removal of current members, the current Trump Administration could not appoint most of the new members until 2028,” Kennedy wrote in the Wall Street Journal opinion. “Pure sweeping is needed to restore public confidence in the science of vaccines.”
Meanwhile, in his statement, the Ministry of Health and Human Services said, “Today we prefer to restore public confidence over any particular agenda Pro-Vakcina.”
“The public must know that an unbiased science – evaluated by a transparent process and isolated from a conflict of interest – leads the recommendations of our health agencies.”
Before becoming the nation’s supreme health clerk, Kennedy was a prominent activist against vaccination. Kennedy, who spent two decades supporting misinformation of the vaccine, threw this step as necessary to restore public confidence and claimed that the committee was at risk of financial ties to pharmaceutical companies.
