"Judge Murphy seemingly agreed, saying that the vaccine committee had historically made decisions via rigorous review of scientific evidence, 'a method scientific in nature and codified into law through procedural requirements,' but in this new iteration, 'unfortunately, the government has disregarded those methods and thereby undermined the integrity of its actions.'"
"The lawsuit brought against the federal government had argued that Kennedy's panel of yes-men, which he formed after firing all 17 previous members after taking office, could not be trusted to make decisions regarding vaccines, and lacked the qualifications to do so, calling the changes already made or recommended 'arbitrary and capricious.'"
A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s newly appointed Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices cannot arbitrarily alter the nation's childhood vaccine schedule. Judge Brian Murphy determined that Kennedy's panel, formed after he fired all 17 previous committee members, lacked proper qualifications and bypassed the rigorous scientific review process traditionally required. The ruling, issued in response to a lawsuit by six medical organizations, reinstated the existing federal vaccine recommendations. The judge found that the new committee disregarded established procedural requirements codified in law, thereby undermining the integrity of its decision-making process.
