Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has appointed eight new members to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in a controversial move. This decision follows his firing of all 17 previous members. Among those appointed are Martin Kulldorff and Dr. Robert Malone, both well-known critics of the Biden administration's Covid vaccine policies. Kennedy emphasized he would avoid choosing ideological anti-vaxxers, but the inclusion of Kulldorff and Malone is expected to generate backlash from pro-vaccine groups due to their past criticisms and associations with the Great Barrington Declaration and mRNA technology discussions.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has appointed eight new members to an expert panel, including critics of federal Covid vaccine policies, after firing all previous members.
The new appointments, including Dr. Kulldorff and Dr. Malone, are controversial due to their prior criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the pandemic.
Mr. Kennedy assured that he would not appoint ideological anti-vaxxers, even as the selection of certain members is likely to provoke opposition from pro-vaccine advocates.
Dr. Kulldorff and Dr. Malone's past actions and statements, particularly regarding the Great Barrington Declaration and mRNA research, have positioned them at odds with mainstream public health recommendations.
