RFK JR ‘Sweet Sweet’ for CDC vaccine experts will erode general confidence | Trump administration
The “clean scanning process” of Robert F Kennedy published the Consultative Committee for Decisive Vaccines shock and dismay among health experts, as many warned that the decision of the Minister of Health would lead to erosion of confidence in the system of approval of the American vaccines.
The Secretary launched all members of the Disease Control and Prevention Center (ACIP) – a group of scientific experts who recommend how vaccines should be given and distributed.
Kennedy wrote in an opinion article in an opinion article in an opinion article in an opinion article in an opinion article in an opinion article in an opinion article in an opinion article. Wall Street JournalAnnouncing the change, on Monday.
“However, the history of conflict of interests, the persecution of the defectors, the lack of curiosity, and the deviant sciences that were afflicted with the vaccine organizational devices for decades.”
The immediate concern of public health officials, scholars and vaccine researchers was the erosion of confidence and those who will fill the newly opened seats. Candidates often pass voluntary roles in months of scrutiny, but it seems that new candidates may have already been chosen. A press release from the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services (HHS), which is led by Kennedy, said that the upcoming ACIP meeting in June will advance as planned.
Dr. Tom Frieden, President and CEO of the non -profit public health company, is a solution to save lives and director of the former diseases control center, He said In a statement about X that Kennedy’s decision to remove “seventeen doctors, pediatricians, scientists, and parents who served [ACIP]”It is a dangerous and unprecedented work that makes our families less safe.”
“ACIP has always been a model of the world of transparent guidelines, with strict reviews of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine,” said Frieden. “Do not make a mistake: ACIP politicization, as Minister Kennedy does, will undermine the confidence of the public under the guise of its improvement.”
Feriden’s comments were repeated by scientists, doctors and public health leaders, many of whom interrogated the conflict of Kennedy. Before becoming a secretary, Kennedy led the most invitation group to combat vaccine in the world, and was pushed by personal injuries to referring victims of alleged vaccine injuries.
“Removing all ACIP members and replacing them with new members is more likely to destroy the public’s confidence in the federal government’s approach to vaccine rather than restoring confidence,” said Dr. Robert Steinbrok, Director of the Health Research Group for the non -profit citizen group in a statement.
“The administration should not matter members of a federal scientific advisory committee. The shooting and replacement of ACIP members is a blatant political action that will undermine scientific neutrality and integrity, not promoting it.”
The center of diseases control, albeit not always, is usually taken, ACIP recommendations. The supplementary committee recommends the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on whether the vaccines, called the Consultative Committee for the vaccine and related biological products (VRBPAC).
These recommendations, which have been approved by the head of the Disease Control Center, are translated into formal recommendations in childhood vaccine schedules and adults. Then these tables are used by insurance companies to determine the vaccines that must cover their plans – which makes them a very important document to reach Americans to vaccinations.
However, the Center for Disease Control without a leader, and Kennedy did not sign the latest ACIP recommendations, according to a report from Stat.
The decision to expel the entire ACIP committee comes after Kennedy tried to make a final one around them for a separate announcement: that Covid-19 vaccines will not recommend healthy children and pregnant women.
Ultimately, the recommendation of healthy children was preserved to receive the vaccine by the Disease Control Center, which added a new note that decisions related to the Covid-19 vaccine should be made in “shared decisions” with a health care specialist.
But Kennedy’s first announcement, which struck social media with a few details, shocked the doctors. Also came Only days After the leaders of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the pregnancy, one of the “underlying medical conditions that can increase the risk of a person represented by Covid-19”. Kennedy oversees both clients in his role as Minister of Health.
Doctors are concerned about Kennedy’s decision to bring “severe consequences” to pregnant women, who are known to be more likely to have severe complications than Covid-19 infection.
Kennedy tried to justify his decision to recommend against vaccination during pregnancy for legislators in Capitol Hill in the days before the expulsion of the ACIP committee. In a document, HHS argued that the vaccine was unsafe, but then he cited the studies whose results confirmed the safety of the vaccine, according to Politico.

Kennedy did not satisfy a single group: his supporters to combat Al -Qahim.
“This represents a very positive development,” said Nicholas Holcher, director of the McColeu Foundation, a non -profit organization affiliated with Peter McColeu. known Boys fighting campaign. “We hope that ACIP is recycled with really independent experts who give priority to public safety The ideology of the vaccine“
