All 17 experts ousted from the federal vaccine advisory committee have spoken out about the drastic changes that anti-vaccine advocate and current US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made since taking office. Those changes include unilaterally restricting access to COVID-19 vaccines and summarily firing the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which had guided federal vaccine policies for more than 60 years.
“We are deeply concerned that these destabilizing decisions, made without clear rationale, may roll back the achievements of US immunization policy, impact people’s access to lifesaving vaccines, and ultimately put US families at risk of dangerous and preventable illnesses,” the fired experts write in an editorial published in JAMA.
Personally, I think the fired board members should all meet and do what the current board won’t. Issue sensible, evidence based recommendations for vaccines. Even if they aren’t listened to, at least it would be a counter to the bullshit RFK Jr and his ilk will push
RFK Jr is anti-health.
He’s pro- people who can afford private healthcare
They’ll probably get jobs in other countries now. The brain drain caused by this administration is going to hurt this country for years to come.
People like this will not be stopped by “objections“ or resignations. Someone needs to blow his head off, or he will never stop.
The same app applies to lots of people causing a lot of trouble right now.
Just offer him raw bear meat. Apparently he loves that shit.
I have an auto immune disease and anti vax morons are gonna get me killed
For all the good it will do. He’s in charge, and won’t be stopped. Modern medicine in the United States is over.
RJK: I’ve fired the best and hired the worst!
OH NOES THEY BLAST?! and nothing happens.
Just feck these clickbait headlines containing words like “blast” and “slam”. Sorry Ars, no clicky until you grow up and write like adults who have something serious to say.
Seriously, it’s like kids are writing headlines. What ever happened to puns? Looong ago I knew this guy who worked the night copy desk at a paper in Albuquerque. He and I would text all night the crazy pun headlines he would write. Every so often he would use one of mine and take a pic of the paper with my headline the next day.
Hahahahaahahaha yaaaassss it’s that dumb every time I hear it. Blasts. Slams….
People need to start using eviscerated.
