The ACIP under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has undergone significant changes, including the dismissal of experienced members and the reevaluation of the MMRV and thimerosal-containing flu vaccines. Kennedy's appointment has raised concerns about the future integrity of federal vaccine recommendations, with meetings scheduled for June discussing various vaccines. The overhaul comes amid fears that Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance could undermine the scientific rigor historically applied to these guidelines, as discussions shift away from once unanimously supported vaccines to potentially controversial ones.
The ACIP's new agenda now includes reevaluation of the MMRV and thimerosal-containing flu vaccines under Kennedy's leadership, raising concerns over the integrity of vaccine recommendations.
Kennedy's firing of seasoned ACIP members and appointment of those with anti-vaccine views signals a shift away from scientifically vetted health standards in vaccine recommendations.
