"I have now been told that this was a miscommunication, and in fact the decision about how to proceed has not been made, and dissolving and reforming remains one of [the] options being considered."
"Unless officially announced by us, any assertions about what we are doing next is baseless speculation."
"I am so, so tired of the HHS incompetence, and that HHS was trying to throw him 'under the bus' over his earlier statements."
"It seems like the simplest way to do that is to reconstitute the committee that he wrongly fired, which had been put together following proper legal procedures."
Malone, a former mRNA researcher, claimed ACIP was disbanded but later retracted this statement, citing miscommunication. HHS confirmed the retraction and labeled Malone's assertions as baseless speculation. Malone expressed frustration over HHS's handling of the situation, suggesting incompetence. The future of ACIP remains uncertain, with advocacy groups urging HHS to adhere to federal regulations regarding committee reconstitution. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and the need for clarity in public health decision-making.
