Kennedy Jr. on Monday said he is removing every member of a government panel that makes vaccine recommendations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy said he is &#8220;retiring&#8221; all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, asserting that it &#8220;has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science,&#8221; Kennedy, who is a vaccine skeptic, wrote in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/opinion\/rfk-jr-hhs-moves-to-restore-public-trust-in-vaccines-45495112?mod=opinion_lead_pos5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">opinion piece<\/a> published by the Wall Street Journal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The members of the committee are independent medical and public health experts who advise and vote on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&#8217;s vaccine recommendations. The CDC sets immunization schedules for both adults and children based on recommendations from ACIP.<\/p>\n<p>Experts and health authorities closely watch the committee&#8217;s decisions, since their recommendations are tied to a number of federal policies, including requirements for insurance coverage and liability protections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Per the June 9, 2025 directive from the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, this email serves as formal notice of your immediate termination as a member of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). We appreciate your prior service and commitment,&#8221; read an email to one committee member from the CDC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is horrifying,&#8221; a CDC official said of Kennedy&#8217;s move.<\/p>\n<p>Career CDC officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/acip\/apply-for-membership\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">usually select<\/a> experts to sit on the committee out of the applications it receives, forwarding picks to the secretary to be signed off on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy said the Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028 because some of the current members were last-minute appointees of the Biden administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The prior administration made a concerted effort to lock in public health ideology and limit the incoming administration&#8217;s ability to take the proper actions to restore public trust in vaccines,&#8221; Kennedy said.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear who is being considered to replace the committee&#8217;s members or how they are being selected. A spokesperson for the department did not comment when asked.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes a week after a committee leader, Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cdc-official-overseeing-covid-19-vaccine-recommendations-resigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">resigned from her role<\/a><\/span> following an order from Kennedy to change the CDC&#8217;s guidance on COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Outside medical groups <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/news\/news-releases\/2025\/05\/acog-statement-on-hhs-recommendations-regarding-the-covid-vaccine-during-pregnancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">voiced disappointment<\/a> over the move, which bypassed the longstanding advisory committee process and usurped an already-ongoing work group within the panel that had <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cdc-covid-vaccine-recommendations-advisers\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">already been weighing<\/a><\/span> how to narrow <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cdc-kids-covid-19-vaccine-recommendation\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">COVID-19 vaccine<\/a><\/span> recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy&#8217;s ouster of the committee&#8217;s members comes ahead of a meeting of the panel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2025\/06\/09\/2025-10432\/meeting-of-the-advisory-committee-on-immunization-practices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">scheduled<\/a> to start on June 25.
