To me, this is one of the most frightening moves so far in the dismantling of public health - stacking ACIP so it'll fall in line. Americans deserve evidence-based vaccine policy, lest we return to an age when childhood polio deaths were a routine event.
As expected, RFK Jr. was lying during his confirmation hearing and now is ratfucking the vaccination system in the US.
The vast majority of the public does not want this and yet again it’s clear that the Republican administration does not serve the electorate.

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow.
The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
