Recently removed members of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) vaccine advisory panel warn that Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s move to replace them shows he is “abandoning” rigorous scientific review and open deliberation.

All 17 experts from the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices who were replaced last month by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the health secretary's new picks "inexperienced and biased."

The members of the CDC vaccine advisory committee HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed say the panel has “lost credibility.”
