Summary
CHICAGO, June 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s newly reconstituted vaccine advisory panel said during its first meeting on Wednesday that it would study the schedule of childhood and adolescent immunizations and review the use of older vaccines.
The meeting is unfolding under intense scrutiny after Kennedy, who has a long history of sowing doubt about vaccine safety, fired all 17 members of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) vaccine advisory panel this month and replaced them with eight of his picks.
At least two CDC staff members have left over the changes and major medical experts and former members of the panel, known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, have expressed concern over its reconstitution.
Just a day before the panel was set to convene, one of its newly appointed members, Dr. Michael Ross, unexpectedly withdrew from the meeting, further fueling concerns about the internal dynamics of the reshaped group. His withdrawal means the panel now comprises seven members.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The CDC proved themselves to be politician hacks during COVID.
To Reuters, “norms” mean that one keeps strictly to leftist established lies.
Hey Reuters, how’s all the COVID crap you upchucked turning out?
About time.
Excellent!
This article is full of politicized rhetoric. Look at COVID disinformation & downright lies. Look at the number of papers withdrawn for inaccuracies, look at the drugs w/ serious side effects authorized by the FDA, many of which are not even efficacious.
Then tell me with a straight face that having different people look at the efficiency & efficacy is dismantling scientific safeguards.
Science in America has been transformed into a charade of virtue signaling furnishing a figleaf for the driving force, profit.
“breaks norms”
It used to be the norm to treat syphilis with mercury.
Childhood vaccinations cause adulthood.
Prayers. God please be with RFK and guide these proceedings.
