The #vaccine advisors fired by #RFKJr joined together to write a piece for JAMA in which they say Kennedy's actions may "roll back the achievements of U.S. #immunization policy, impact people's access to lifesaving vaccines, and ultimately put U.S. families at risk of dangerous and preventable illnesses." That's one hell of a way to "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/vaccines/116101?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2025-06-16&mh=94a3ffbf5efe5196113f4b100e6cb951&zdee=gAAAAABoE23NTssIYTtSXY1LNnohGJaXAfxVFk3sLQUV_-a3Jg6H4sLYZSzhHq472hWcUyzpLu_H7KI5XGZij861NIwwo4RTcZ3VS4TgbTYGcKYWEoniicQ%3D
#Immunization
#RFKJr’s decision to “retire” the previous 17-member panel was widely decried by doctors’ groups & #PublicHealth orgs, who feared the advisers would be replaced by a group aligned w/RFKJr’s desire to *reassess*—& possibly end—longstanding #vaccination recommendations.
The new appointees to the Advisory Cmte on #Immunization Practices [#ACIP] include Dr. #RobertMalone, the fmr mRNA researcher who emerged as a close adviser to RFKJr in the #measles #outbreak.
#CDC Contradicts #RFKJr & Keeps Advice That #Children May Get #Covid Shots
Days after *#Health* Secy RFK Jr announced that Covid shots would be removed from the federal #immunization schedule for children, the CDC issued updated advice that largely counters Kennedy’s new policy.

Africa: Horn of Africa Health Ministers Commit to Bolster Polio Eradication Efforts: [WHO-AFRO] Brazzaville/Cairo/Geneva -- For nearly a decade, the Horn of Africa has battled persistent outbreaks of variant poliovirus.

A major landmark study led by the World Health Organization (WHO), published by The Lancet in 2024, reveals that global immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives – or the equivalent of 6 lives every minute of every year – over the past 50 years. The vast majority of lives saved – 101 million – were those of infants.

#Trump #HHS Secy #RFKJr intends to shift the way #vaccines are tested, a move that the agency said will increase *transparency* but that #medical experts fear could limit #access to vaccines & undermine the public’s trust in #immunization depending on its implementation.
Now, all new vaccines must undergo placebo testing, a procedure in which some people receive the vaccine & others receive an inert substance before the results are compared.
