#RFKJr promptly cancels #vaccine advisory meeting, pulls #FluShot campaign
Kennedy is reportedly planning to remove agency vaccine advisers, too.

"Last weekend, a Washington Post columnist noted on Bluesky that the #CDC's effective 'Wild to Mild' seasonal flu shot campaign had vanished. The campaign highlighted how the seasonal vaccines can prevent influenza infections from becoming severe or life-threatening. It used animals as an analogy for the diminished threat of the flu virus after vaccination, juxtaposing a lion and a domestic kitten in one ad while showing an elephant and a mouse in another. The CDC page no longer leads to a 'not found' landing page, but it wasn't restored either. It now redirects to a 2023 article announcing the campaign, which does not contain the shareable resources found on the original page. The removal is startling given that the US is currently battling one of the worst flu seasons in 15 years."
