The Growing Influence of Vaccine Skeptics Inside HHS
STAT ^ | July 14, 2025 | Chelsea Cirruzzo

RFK Jr. has hired at least four people with a history of criticizing vaccines, including the former president of his anti-vaccine group

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spent much of his confirmation process before becoming the nation’s health secretary reassuring lawmakers that he would not undermine public confidence in vaccines and seeking to distance himself from the anti-vaccine group he founded, Children’s Health Defense.

As health secretary, he has installed former prominent members of that group and other vaccine skeptics in positions at the department he runs or agencies it oversees.

The appointment of officials from CHD, including a former president of the group, points to the growing influence of anti-vaccine advocates at federal health agencies since Kennedy took over in February. To former officials at the Department of Health and Human Services as well as public health experts, the hires are the latest signs that Kennedy is embracing vaccine skepticism and undermining the public health apparatus that reviews, approves, and recommends vaccines.

Science is supposed to be about skepticism. If you can’t question the beliefs, then science becomes a religion.

‘ Science is supposed to be about skepticism.’

As a starting point, yes.

‘If you can’t question the beliefs, then science becomes a religion.’

BS.

Either the results are verifiable and repeatable or they are not.

Reasonable people can have reasonable debates on the topic of vaccinating children.

But let’s start from an objective baseline. The CDC Guidelines would have a baby get 21 vaccines by six months of age.

“Pharma Profits Endangered”
Soon there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
They deserve to lose EVERYTHING after riding high on the hog for years with 5min TV adds, exorbitant drug prices, vaccine propaganda and the evilness of the covid jab.

It’s stunning when you see it all together like that.

And that is CDC PROPERTY. Not a meme etc.

In this context, a little anti-vaxx may be in order to bring us back to earth.

And sometimes they’re not, so we question them.

Question all you want, but be serious about it.

This crap isn’t serious, nor does it come from serious people.

Which is absolutely INSANE. I started to question in 1980’s when I was trying to start a family- I knew I would never give my baby vaccines according to the timeline and not several. Now I think it’s 95% money making scam that has and is destroying our natural health. Most decreases in communicable diseases came because of sanitation, clean water and better housing- vaccine proponents just want to take credit

I think Chelsea would have used a different word than Skeptics, if her article was legitimate. Maybe something like “unbiased experts”.
