HHS Secretary is “retiring” all members of government panel to “avoid conflicts of interest.”
In a major move to reshape U.S. vaccine policy, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Monday in The Wall Street Journal that he has ordered the complete removal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), citing long-standing and deeply rooted conflicts of interest.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data show 2,669,318 adverse events, including hospitalizations and deaths, have been linked to vaccines since 1990, but if fewer than 1% of adverse events are reported—as a 2010 HHS-funded Harvard analysis suggests—the real number could be closer to 267 million.
“We are taking a bold step in restoring public trust by totally reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP),” Kennedy wrote. “We are retiring the 17 current members of the committee, some of whom were last-minute appointees of the Biden administration.”
