Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated as Secretary of Health, announced the removal of all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), contradicting prior assurances made to Senator Bill Cassidy during his confirmation process. Cassidy’s support hinged on Kennedy's commitment to maintaining the existing vaccine safety systems, but his decision to replace the entire committee has alarmed health experts. Critics worry about the implications for public confidence in vaccines and speculate about who Kennedy will appoint next, highlighting a potential shift in vaccine policy.
Kennedy’s announcement to remove all members of the ACIP raises concerns about public health credibility and the future of vaccine policy amid his controversial nomination.
Senator Cassidy’s support for Kennedy was based on the assurance that he would not alter the existing vaccine approval systems, which Kennedy's actions directly contradict.
