The article discusses concerns regarding the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and its current direction, notably from experts like Peter Hotez and Fiona Havers. They criticize the panel for lacking meaningful expertise and pursuing pseudoscientific agendas that may jeopardize public health. Havers warns that without urgent changes, vaccine-preventable diseases could cause significant harm. Despite these issues, anti-vaccine sentiment is growing, as shown by proposed agenda changes at ACIP meetings, including input from individuals lacking relevant qualifications, which raises further alarm for public health professionals.
The meeting should be delayed until the panel is fully staffed with more robust and balanced representation—as required by law—involving those with relevant expertise.
Honestly in its current form, the ACIP is mostly devoid of any meaningful expertise in vaccines or infectious diseases. It is organized to pursue a pseudoscience agenda.
If it isn't stopped, and some of this isn't reversed... a lot of Americans are going to die as a result of vaccine-preventable diseases.
Lyn Redwood, a nurse with no expertise in vaccinations, is now presenting recommendations on flu vaccines, indicative of the ACIP's concerning direction.
