YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA word of warning to Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.: Restoring Americans’ trust in the feds’ public health decisions means hiring truly fair-minded, science-driven folks — not anti-vax crackpots. NY Post assistant editorial page editor Brooke Rogers shares this story.
RFK Jr. last week canned all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), saying: “A clean sweep is necessary to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science.”
Most of them got appointed just last year to terms that would last through 2028, so Kennedy would’ve had to fire at least some to have much impact on the panel — and President Joe Biden set clear precedent for axing supposedly bipartisan and nonpartisan advisory board members.
Yes, ACIP members are supposed to be unbiased experts, but vaccine recommendations nonetheless plainly did get politicized in the Biden years (along with a lot of other public health “science,” such as guidelines for reopening schools).
Not only did CDC and FDA officials cover up negative side effects of COVID vaccines, they prompted top career officials to resign over the pseudo-scientific “findings” that everyone should get vaxxed and re-vaxxed.
Happily, several of the eight new ACIP members RFK announced later in the week look to be solid scientists, such as biostatistician Martin Kulldorff, a co-author of the anti-lockdown Great Barrington Declaration, and pediatrician Cody Meissner, who’s served on the panel before.
