The party’s policy is said to have played a role in launching vaccine consultants in Kennedy


Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who promised to make decisions rooted in the “Golden Standard Science”, a full committee of vaccine consultants partially because they were all appointed by a democratic president and some of them applied to the Democrats, according to an official at the White House and another person familiar with Mr. Kennedy.

When he announced the shooting on Monday, Mr. Kennedy referred to the financial relations of the members with industry and “indulging in the alignment incentive system in this field.” But according to the White House official and the other person, both of them spoke on the condition that his identity was not disclosed to discuss an internal issue, Mr. Kennedy was also interested in “political conflicts.”

Collective shooting was another example of the unusual muscle way – and sometimes chaos – which Mr. Kennedy practiced his authority, often while setting a policy policy. Like President Trump, Mr. Kennedy is involved in the policy matters that usually left the paths, and sometimes announces new policies on social media, with their support or lack of little or not supporting them.

Representatives of the American Medical Association, the largest group of doctors in the country, which holds its annual meeting in Chicago this week, Approved decision On Tuesday, Mr. Kennedy called for his decision immediately, and ordered his leadership to ask the Senate Health Committee to investigate it.

Two public health experts said on Tuesday that Mr. Kennedy has the authority to launch all the 17 members of the fortification of immunization practices, or ACIP, which provides instructions to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But both of them said that the federal law required him not to act arbitrarily.

“The secretary has a final authority, but he cannot arbitrarily exercise that authority, randomly – he actually needs to use a deliberative process,” said Lawrence or Gustin, Professor of Global Health Law at Georgetown University. “I think it’s very vulnerable to a judicial challenge.”

in Long function on x On Tuesday night, Mr. Kennedy said he would use the social media platform to announce new members. “None of these individuals will be an ideological anti -faxine,” he wrote. “They will be highly accredited doctors and scientists who will make public health decisions very dependent by implementing evidence -based decisions with objectivity and proper sense.”

Mr. Kennedy did not mention an ideology or party affiliation in his position, but he said: “I will also tweet examples of historical corruption in ACIP to help the public understand the reason for the necessity of this clean survey.”

The immunization committee was established in 1964 by the general surgeon “To help prevent and control infectious diseases.” Its mission is to review the safety and effectiveness of vaccines carefully, discuss evidence and vote on who must get the shots and when. Insurance companies and government programs such as Medicaid track their recommendations.

Experts said it is very unusual for the secretary to take the party’s policy into consideration in choosing members, and nothing was able to remember a full committee that is rejected collectively.

“It is supposed to be a non -political process that produces the best scientific advice.” “He does not put people in ambassadors because they give you money. He is trying to choose the best experience available.”

Mr. Kennedy – one of the most critical vocal vaccines in the country, which he linked to autism despite the scientific studies that failed to find evidence of a link – he claimed long ago that the committee had been covered with conflicts of interests because some members worked with the pharmaceutical industry. In fact, members must declare whether they have conflicts and are not allowed to vote on the things they contradict.

Declared fire in Wall Street Journal On Monday, he described them as “a bold step in restoring public confidence.” He also pointed out that some members were “at the last minute of the Biden administration,” adding, “Without removing the current members, the current Trump administration was not able to appoint most of the new members until 2028.”

“These are bold moves, I think they are what is expected,” said Del Begter

He added: “This is the reason why all people who supported Robert Kennedy Junior supported him all the way to join President Trump.” “This is what we wanted to see. We wanted to see an end to corruption and the infiltration of companies.”

However, Mr. Kennedy was also interested in political ideology, according to the person familiar with his views. This person referred to an article In federalismAnd it is the perpetrator of the conservative news, which was detailed for the members who worked with the industry, which donated to the Democrats and which took steps “to push the ideology of diversity, shares and integration (Dei) – something that Mr. Trump said will not be allowed in his administration.

A member of the committee, Noel Bruyer, a professor of public health at North Carolina University, said on Tuesday that he had learned that he had been rejected when one of the correspondents sent him an article for Mr. Wall Street Journal at about 4 pm on Monday. Two hours later, I received an email to inform him of the “immediate end” of his appointment.

In the past, Dr. Bruer said he had received a grant from Fayzar or Merck, but not in the past five years. When it became clear that he was a candidate to work in the committee, he said: “I was keen to start rejecting every invitation.”

The Federal article seized Dr. Buruer as a person donating to Democrats; In 2020, before working in the committee, he gave $ 1,000 to Joseph R. Biden Junior and $ 200 for a democratic candidate for the Senate in North Carolina.

When asked about donations, Dr. Buruer said: “I am a behavioral scientist, I am working to take advantage of public health. I am not really qualified to conduct assessments of the different political integration and integration of leaders.”

What happens after that is unclear. Mr. Kennedy is expected to appoint new members of the committee before its next meeting, which is scheduled to be held on June 25.

Dr. Buruer pointed out that the committee was considering several important matters, including whether to recommend the number of doses that infants receive to protect from the HPV, and whether the transition to a “risk-based approach” may not be recommended in which the Covid-19 vaccine for healthy adults is not recommended.

Mr. Kennedy came out before the committee last month, by announcing the recommendations of the new Covid-19 vaccine for children and pregnant women.

Michael T description. Ostrolem, an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota, advised healthy trustees in both political parties, to dismiss all 17 members of the Committee “a political reaction, not a scientific effort.” Dr. Ostolem leads a new initiative, the Salama Al -Lahel project, which was called Fireings “reckless” and said they are part From a disturbing style Where Mr. Kennedy makes decisions with a little evidence to support them.

In announcing the recommendations of Covid-19, Mr. Kennedy did not make new scientific evidence. Instead he relied on comment It was published by the Food and Drug Administration and another official in the FDA. In the demand for conflicts of interests in the fortification committee, Mr. Kennedy killed a report from 2009 and another from 2000.

The former health secretaries sometimes practiced their authority in a muscle style, and in some cases, they established the recommendations of their scientific advisers.

Kathleen Sebilius, who held the position of health secretary in the Obama administration, has canceled the FDA (FDA) refusing to allow contraceptives in emergency cases for teenage girls under the age of 17. Donna Shala, Minister of Health for President Bill Clinton users, was instructed by Mr. Clinton to refuse to recommend the financing of clean exchange programs for drug users, which CDC manager said.

But in the interviews on Tuesday, both said that Mr. Kennedy’s participation in the work of the fortification committee was the political intervention of a different matter.

“The scholars informed my judgment,” said Mrs. Sebilius. She also indicated that Mr. Kennedy shot the committee members at a time when the director of the Disease Control Center was unable, because the agency does not have a manager.

Dr. Shalala said that although she had no choice but to correspond to Mr. Clinton’s desire, “We have never denying the science; we repeated that the science was clear and that we had saved lives.”
