Just two days after retiring the entirety of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory panel, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has appointed several prominent critics of the government’s Covid-19 response to that committee.

RFK dismissed the CDC's scientific vaccine advisers. His appointees for replacements are raising concerns about vaccine policy and recommendations moving forward.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s actions in recent months have raised concerns that he is taking a heavy-handed and unilateral approach to vaccine policy in the U.S.

The demonstration came a day after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gutted a federal vaccine safety panel and vowed to replace all the members.

We’ve taken a giant step backwards,” remarked Dr. Paul Offit, a leading vaccine scientist, after the abrupt dismissal of the entire CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Thursday he promised to allow U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy to pick a candidate for a key panel of vaccine advisers.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices helps the agency make recommendations on who should get certain vaccines.

Kennedy Jr. promised he would not discourage people from getting vaccines or make the shots “difficult” to access. Now that the longtime anti-vaccine activist has the job, he’s putting his promise to the test.
