RFK Jr. Packs CDC Immunization Board With Anti-Vaxxers, Conspiracy Theorists
Briefly

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently removed all members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and appointed eight new members, including several known anti-vaxxers. He justified this 'clean sweep' as necessary for restoring public trust in vaccine science, though polls show a lack of confidence, with most voters disapproving of his work. Skeptics among health experts challenge the qualifications of the newly appointed members, suggesting potential conflicts with established public health practices and protocols.
Kennedy's removal of the CDC's vaccine advisory board and replacement with anti-vaxxers seeks to rebuild public confidence in vaccine science amid widespread skepticism.
Poll results indicate only 38% voter approval for Kennedy's actions at HHS, highlighting a significant lack of trust in his guidance on vaccination.
Kennedy claims his personal opinions on vaccines are 'irrelevant' as he introduces new ACIP members who emphasize evidence-based medicine and definitive safety data.
Health experts have raised doubts about Kennedy's new board members, particularly those with ties to controversial public health statements, as skepticism grows.
