NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday named eight new vaccine policy advisers to replace the panel that he abruptly dismissed earlier this week.
They include a scientist who researched mRNA vaccine technology and became a conservative darling for his criticisms of COVID-19 vaccines, a leading critic of pandemic-era lockdowns, and a professor of operations management.
Kennedy’s decision to “retire” the previous 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices was widely decried by doctors’ groups and public health organizations, who feared the advisers would be replaced by a group aligned with Kennedy’s desire to reassess — and possibly end — longstanding vaccination recommendations.
On Tuesday, before he announced his picks, Kennedy said: “We’re going to bring great people onto the ACIP panel – not anti-vaxxers – bringing people on who are credentialed scientists.”
The new appointees include Vicky Pebsworth, a regional director for the National Association of Catholic Nurses. She has been listed as a board member and volunteer director for the National Vaccine Information Center, a group that is widely considered to be a leading source of vaccine misinformation.
Another is Dr. Robert Malone, the former mRNA researcher who emerged as a close adviser to Kennedy during the measles outbreak. Malone, who runs a wellness institute and a popular blog, rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic as he relayed conspiracy theories around the outbreak and the vaccines that followed. He has appeared on podcasts and other conservative news outlets where he’s promoted unproven and alternative treatments for measles and COVID-19.
He has claimed that millions of Americans were hypnotized into taking the COVID-19 shots and has suggested that those vaccines cause a form of AIDS. He’s downplayed deaths related to one of the largest measles outbreaks in the U.S. in years.

AP has spread misinformation far more than these folks.
And he has been correct.
There are still a few who think the vax was keen and want to crack down on critics. Imagine how life would be if Kamala were President right now.
Malone has been described by detractors as a limited hangout.
Here he’s being slandered as an apostate.
This Guy has never gotten either type of bad vibe from him. In the meantime he’s always been able to explain his positions intelligently, with appropriate terminology, and with due humility based on the truth of his early miscalculation (consented to being personally vexxationationated).
Exactly the headline you would expect from the muslim loving “Team Masters of Deception”.
Maybe they were spreading the truth and the old bunch was doing the lying. Just sayin’.................
Misinformation as defined by the branch covidians whom they replaced.
Misinformation means “truth”.
“Misinformation”? According to whom? Pfizer?
“Misinformation”, lol. As spoken by Master Level liars.
I follow the Krugman Rule. Depending on who is saying it, believe the opposite.
Takes one to know one…
Is the title libel? What exactly, does the AP allege is misinformation?
NO ONE SPREAD MORE DISINFORMATION THAN FAUCI-—GATES-—BIDEN, ETC
...and became a conservative darling... The usual bias from AP (America’s Pravda)
I can’t decide what to think of Mr. Kennedy.
Misinformation according to whom? Oh, that’s right, by people who get kickbacks from Big Pharma. The same people who gave us a “vaccine” that doesn’t fit the definition of a vaccine, doesn’t protect the patient, has, by their own admission, a 6 day efficacy rate if that much. Does nothing to stop deaths, hospitalizations or even the spread, but somehow, THEY get to label “misinformation”. No, AP. Your lies have gone on long enough.
The AP, and the rest of the MSM are simply the craven mouthpieces for Eli Lily, Merck, etc.
