RFK Jr. dismissed members of childhood vaccine injury panel
NegativeU.S News
- Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dismissed several members of the Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines (ACCV) before their terms expired, with at least half of the eight-member panel removed, indicating a potential shift in U.S. vaccine policy.
- This action raises concerns about the direction of federal vaccine policy under Kennedy's leadership, particularly as it may undermine established vaccine norms and public health recommendations that have been in place for years.
- The dismissals come amid broader controversies surrounding vaccine guidance, including recent changes to hepatitis B vaccination recommendations and the appointment of advisory panel members with histories of opposing vaccines, reflecting a significant departure from previous health policies and igniting debates on vaccine safety and public health priorities.
