Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the removal of the entire vaccine advisory panel, citing persistent conflicts of interest and branding it a "rubber stamp" for vaccines. This unprecedented action contradicts a previous pledge made to the Senate. Kennedy's move has broader implications, especially after he rescinded CDC recommendations for coronavirus vaccines for certain populations without consulting the panel, which surprised public health officials.
Kennedy stated he was removing the entire membership of the vaccine advisory panel due to persistent conflicts of interest, claiming it had become a "rubber stamp" for vaccines.
Kennedy's decision to bypass the panel and the CDC regarding the recommendation of the coronavirus vaccine blindsided the CDC, which had not been informed of his decision.
