RFK Jr. taps new vaccine panel members: Here's who he picked [View all]

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tapped five new members to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) outside vaccine advisory panel, just days ahead of its next meeting.

Kennedy in May fired every member of the panel and handpicked their replacements, most of whom have criticized coronavirus vaccines and other shots.

The latest members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) include people who have been critical of the COVID-19 vaccine and who have pushed back on coronavirus vaccine mandates, as well as someone who promoted ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19.

The panel is set to meet Thursday and Friday in Atlanta and is expected to vote on softening or eliminating recommendations related to COVID-19 vaccines and routine shots on the pediatric vaccine schedule, including a combination shot for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella, as well as hepatitis B vaccines.
