Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has unveiled eight people, whom he has chosen to serve at the center of the Vaccine Advisory Panel of Disease Control and Prevention – two days after the unprecedented step Remove all 17 sitting members,

On Wednesday, Kennedy listed the names and miniature BIOs of new advisors, which would join the Advisory Committee on vaccination practices, or ACIP. Upcoming meeting in late June,

“All these individuals are committed to evidence-based medical, gold-standard science and general knowledge,” Kennedy Said in a post on X“They are committed to seeking certain safety and efficacy data before making each new vaccine recommendations.”

New member Dr. Joseph R. Hibelon, Martin Kulladorf, Ratsef Levi, Dr. Robert Malon, Dr. Kodi Meesner, Dr. Michael a. Ross, Dr. James Pagano and Vicky are Pabsworth.

“This is a very big win for medical freedom [m]Ovement, “David Mansodurfer, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services Department in the first Trump Administration, wrote. In a post on X“He did everything to keep this excellent slate of appointments by the book together.”

Public health advocates are careful.

“Kennedy did not choose people with strong, current expertise,” says UC Law, Professor Doorit Rees of San Francisco. “It tells me that Kennedy is setting up a committee that will suspect vaccines, and possibly to implement an anti-vaccine agenda.”

Panel vaccination of external experts helps to set the vaccine policy and craft recommendations for schedule, guiding health providers and effects that shots are covered by health insurers.

Kennedy has different backgrounds of new chants, although many people grew prominently during many Kovid -19 epidemic, when they criticized government policies on school closures and lockdowns and MRNA vaccines.

For example, an epidemic and biostatist, Kulladorf helped write Great Barrington Declaration Dr. Along with J Bhattacharya, then a Professor of a Stanford University, who is now the director of the National Institute of Health. The open letter questioned the lockdown and other public health measures in the Covid-19 epidemic. Kuldorf refused to comment when NPR arrived.

Melon has followed a major follower to reduce the Kovid -19 vaccine. A scientist who worked on early research in MRNA technology became critical of shot and Basheen and rejected claims, It incorrectly states that vaccination puts people who are already at high risk Covid-19.

Some of the people selected by Kennedy capture educational appointments in famous universities.

In fact, a professor of pediatrics and medicine at the dartmouth college,S Giselle School of Medicine was the first member of ACIP. A CDC database posted in March Shows that Meissner struggled to reveal 12 interests during its time in the committee from 2008 to 2012. Kennedy has cited the struggle of interest as a reason to dismiss the members of the previous committee. The Meissner did not immediately return a request for the comment left on its sound mail and by the text.

Meissner Food and Drug Administration was a member of the panel of vaccine advisors who made recommendations to authorize the use of covid vaccines. He has criticized the recommendations for masking children, including an op-ed, in which he co-written with the current FDA Commissioner Marti Makiri, and is Indicated support To remove healthy children and pregnant women from the Kovid -19 vaccine schedule for Kennedy’s recent decision.

Another member, Vicky PabsworthThe National Vaccine is served in the information center board – a major advocacy group that warns against vaccine risks.

Dr. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ratesf Levi has stopped concerns about shots. In a social media post in In the beginning of 2023Levi said that all “Kovid MRNA vaccination program[s] Should stop immediately … because they fail fully in fulfilling any of their advertised promises about efficacy “and” growing and undisputed evidence that they cause unprecedented levels of damage, including death of young people and children. ,

Kennedy’s decision to change the entire roster of ACIP shocked the public health and medical establishment, which cleared the move for a committee, which would take steps to reduce the vaccine policy.

The next ACIP meeting is scheduled on 25-27 June. The committee can only vote when a quorum is present, which has been recently defined. policies and procedures When “more than half of the voting members are present.”

Kennedy has named eight members to the committee, which is less than the quorum for the committee, which is currently chartered for nineteen members, UC Law, Rece along with San Francisco. Therefore, at least two former officer members of other HHS agencies will need to temporarily authorize the committee to vote for moving forward, she says.
