RFK Jr. removes all 17 members of vaccine committee for CDC
"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed all 17 members of the expert panel that makes vaccine policy recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, saying they'd be replaced with "new members currently under consideration."
Why it matters: Health and Human Services portrayed the unprecedented move as "restoring public trust" in vaccines, but it's expected to introduce anti-vaccine ideology to the influential panel.
"Make no mistake: Politicizing the [Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices] as Secretary Kennedy is doing will undermine public trust under the guise of improving it," said Tom Frieden, former director of the CDC.
The big picture: ACIP is composed of appointees including vaccine and infectious disease experts from academic medical centers and other public health professionals. They evaluate vaccine data at public meetings and were due to meet later this month to discuss COVID-19 vaccines, among other topics."
