Former members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) criticized Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent dismissals of the board, claiming it threatens public health by weakening the country's vaccination guidance. They expressed concern over the appointment of replacement members, some being vaccine skeptics, raising fears of diminished expertise in pivotal health policies. Given the lack of a CDC director, Kennedy's authority has expanded over vaccination recommendations, prompting alarm from health experts about the future of immunization practices in the U.S.
The op-ed by the former ACIP members criticized Kennedy's dismissals as actions that could leave the nation critically weakened in vaccine guidance and immunization practices.
In their op-ed, the former ACIP members collectively voiced their alarm at the potential risks posed by Kennedy's replacements, stating it endangers public health and safety.
