…also blocked that panel’s guidance memo revising the childhood immunization schedule and declared its previous votes invalid…
A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled on March 16 that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. illegally appointed 13 new members to an influential vaccine panel beginning last June.
Murphy ruled Kennedy committed “a technical, procedural failure” by skirting around the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to change the vaccine recommendations for children.
He said the government committed a similar mistake by removing the previous members of that committee, and replacing them “without undertaking any of the rigorous screening that had been the hallmark of ACIP member selection for decades.”
The plaintiffs, led by the American Academy of Pediatrics, originally sued after Kennedy ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending the COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant women and healthy children.
The suit was later expanded to challenge the restructuring of the ACIP and its changes to childhood vaccine recommendations.

ROGUE JUDGE STRIKES AGAIN
Murphy’s Latest Power Grab Threatens Kennedy’s Lawful Health Reforms
For the second time in less than a year, U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy of Boston has inserted himself between the elected executive branch and its constitutional authority to govern, issuing a sweeping injunction Monday that blocks Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from implementing common-sense reforms to the nation’s childhood vaccine advisory structure. The ruling, which freezes both a revised immunization schedule and Kennedy’s reconstitution of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, is the latest episode in a troubling pattern: a midnight Biden appointee wielding judicial power as a political weapon against a duly elected administration.

The Administrative State vs. The People’s Mandate
How A Massachusetts Federal Judge Is Blocking Vaccine Choice Reform
Today, a federal district court in Massachusetts issued a sweeping preliminary injunction against the Department of Health and Human Services, effectively freezing the most significant effort to reform America’s childhood vaccine schedule in a generation. Judge Brian Murphy’s ruling in American Academy of Pediatrics v. Kennedy (Civil Action No. 25-11916-BEM) represents precisely the kind of activist judicial intervention that the Supreme Court warned against in Trump v. CASA (2025) — and it deserves serious scrutiny from anyone who believes in democratic accountability over administrative entrenchment.
Secretary Kennedy and the Trump administration came into office with a clear mandate: restore transparency, scientific integrity, and parental choice to America’s public health apparatus. What they encountered instead was a bureaucratic fortress built over decades, defended not by persuasive science but by procedural technicalities and sympathetic federal judges. Today’s ruling is the latest skirmish in that battle.
