RFK Jr.'s picks for vaccine advisory panel raise concerns about anti-vaccine bias

RFK Jr., the new Health Secretary, has chosen several people for a key vaccine advisory panel who have a history of spreading false or misleading claims about vaccines. Critics worry this could undermine public trust in immunization efforts and science-based health policies.
Editor’s Note: Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent disease, but misinformation has already eroded confidence in them. If the people shaping vaccine policy openly reject established science, it could lead to more outbreaks of preventable illnesses—and put vulnerable people at risk. This isn’t just bureaucratic drama; it’s about whether public health decisions will be guided by evidence or ideology.
