   Breaking: RFK Jr. Removes All Members of CDC Vaccine Advisory Committee

   HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced late today that he is retiring all 17 members of the CDC vaccine advisory committee. “A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science,” Kennedy wrote in an op-ed published today in The Wall Street Journal.

   Kennedy announced the move in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. “Today, we are taking a bold step in restoring public trust by totally reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP),” he wrote.

   Kennedy noted that some of the current ACIP members were appointed in the final moments of the Biden administration. “Without removing the current members, the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028,” he wrote.

   However, most members have financial ties to pharmaceutical companies marketing vaccines, or have worked with public health agencies to promote controversial vaccines, including the COVID-19, RSV and HPV shots.

   These problems have plagued the committee for decades. A 2000 investigation by the U.S. House of Representatives found that enforcement of conflict-of-interest rules was “weak-to-nonexistent.” A 2009 HHS inspector-general report made similar findings, Kennedy wrote.

   According to an HHS press release, 13 of the 17 sitting ACIP members were appointed in 2024. The release stated, “The prior administration made a concerted effort to lock in public health ideology and limit the incoming administration’s ability to take the proper actions to restore public trust in vaccines.”
