Kennedy's vaccine panel to review childhood immunization schedule

ATLANTA — At the first meeting of the CDC’s panel of outside vaccine advisers since Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overhauled it with new members, the group said it will review childhood vaccines and shots not studied in more than seven years.

The decision by the new group, tasked with reviewing the childhood immunization schedule, could open the door to changes on how and when children are immunized.

The Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices’ work groups study the latest vaccination data and develop recommendations for presentation to the committee.

The work groups are mainly made up of CDC scientists and ACIP members, and can also include ACIP ex-officio members, ACIP liaison representatives, and consultants.

that a number of physicians' organizations are pretty much ready to ignore any recommendations coming from this manufactured CDC panel and will make their own recommendations.

Kennedy’s Kooky Kakistocracy will try to overturn vaccine requirements for children to attend public schools. Having more unvaccinated children in a school environment is dangerous and unhealthy for other students, teachers, administrators and other school support staff (I.e. custodians, school bus drivers and crossing guards).

This regime is such a fucking nightmare. In a sane, rational world an evil nut like Robert Kennedy Jr. would not have been considered to be HHS Secretary, much less confirmed by the Senate.

That's a real job which requires experience and not just a name.
