RFK Jr. ousts all members of CDC vaccine advisory panel

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday that he was removing the entire membership of the influential vaccine advisory panel that makes immunization recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal, Kennedy said he was making the unprecedented move to retire the 17 independent vaccine experts from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices because the panel has been “plagued with persistent conflicts of interest” and has become a “rubber stamp” for vaccines.

Kennedy has long criticized the panel, which makes vaccine recommendations to the CDC director. When the recommendations are approved by the director, they become official public health guidance and are required to be covered by insurance plans at no cost to consumers.

Last month, Kennedy took the unprecedented step of bypassing the panel and the CDC by saying his agency would no longer recommend the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and healthy children — overturning existing guidance for everyone six months old and older to receive an annual coronavirus vaccine. His announcement in a video posted on X blindsided the CDC, which learned about the decision by seeing it on social media, current and former federal health officials have said.

As health secretary, Kennedy has the authority over appointments to the advisory group.

Kennedy, the founder of an anti-vaccine group, has a long history of disparaging vaccines, which has alarmed public health experts as he is now able to reshape the nation’s vaccination policy.

“You have to worry that he may be bringing in people who are like-minded to him,” said Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and former member of the panel.

The childhood vaccine schedule is way too large (65 or so) plus children are given too many vaxxes in one day, one session.

Go see Steven Kirsch substack. He says most of these 65 vaccines did not real trials. They (big Pharma) got wink an a nod pass throughs by their CDC (bribed) (paid off) buddies

“17 independent vaccine experts from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices”

RFK Jr gave them the bums rush. Good for him! Will a black robed Federale take offense to this?

[alternatives?]

Federal judge rules no in 5, 4,

[dadfly]

probably. shrugs. Trump has always been ok with going to court. i think he’ll keep these lawsuits going until the USSC rules against him. then we’ll see what he’s willing to do with his own presidential powers.

[Cold Heart]

Good news. Now our local hospital can quit running the damn vaxx ads in the waiting room.

[foundedonpurpose]

So sad. He will bring in people not bought an and paid for by big pharma. The horror. He’s been out of sight for a bit. Wondered what he was up to. Well done brother!

This guy has been on a roll the past few weeks. Hilarious that online fueds and illegal alien riots have the media off guard on their criticism. Inside their ooda loop again.

Sadly, when your HHS Secretary is doing a better job than your DOJ AG or FBI Director, you have a problem.

[goodnesswins]

YAY!!!

[BradyLS]

Team Trump must be running into heavy, internal resistance over at the DOJ. Appointees to other agencies appear to be moving the needles.

[Flaming Conservative]

Good for him! (And us)

[Veto!]

Poor little babies. Shooting them up with all these chemicals is a crime.

My MD would absolutely not do that. He went to Med School in Nigeria where the pharmaceutical companies apparently do NOT contribute a ton of money to the schools. American Med Schools take their $$$$$$$.

OODA Loop reference!

Excellent!
