A revamped CDC vaccine advisory panel, appointed by Health Secretary RFK Jr., will meet June 25–26 to vote on RSV and flu shot guidelines..
Multi dose influenza vaccines will not be available this fall

🚨New ACIP appointees raise red flags: many lack vaccine or public health expertise. Members include a psychiatrist, an OB/GYN with biotech ties, and a nurse tied to anti-vax NVIC. Others, like Kulldorff & Malone, have spread COVID-19 misinformation. Science and safety must come first.

🚨 Calls grow for impeachment of HHS Secretary RFK Jr. His dismantling of CDC/NIH teams, spreading of health misinformation, and conflicts tied to anti‑vax groups endanger public safety—and demand Congress act now. #ImpeachRFKJr #PublicHealthCrisis

RFK Jr. said he made the decision to remove the ACIP members in order to "reestablish public confidence in vaccine science." However, the AAP said the move "undermines the trust pediatricians have built over decades with our parents." www.empr.com/news/hhs-fir...

RFK Jr to Congress: "People shouldn't take medical advice from me."

Also RFK Jr:
- NO experience in medicine or health services
- Claims vaccines contain 'aborted fetus debris'
- Promised to defeat 'chemtrails'
- Claims worm ate his brain, but he is 'better now'
- Convicted felon (heroin)

Impeach!

Impeach RFK Jr
Why do we even have the confirmation hearings if they lie about what they will do or not do?
RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.

So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.

Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

The 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s independent vaccine advisory committee are being removed from their posts, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Monday afternoon.

This is the end of vaccines in this country. Time to welcome back polio

RFK wants children to die: The MAHA report casts doubt on the current childhood vac schedule, suggesting that vaccines are overused and may contribute to chronic illnesses in children. It calls for “more rigorous clinical trial designs” for vaccines, implying that existing studies are insufficient.

The CDC just dropped COVID vaccine recommendations for healthy kids & pregnant women—without a vote from its vaccine panel. RFK Jr. calls it “common sense,” but public health experts warn this move risks lives and undermines science.

The MAHA report led by RFK Jr. is drawing fire for citing non-existent sources and AI-generated references. The White House blames “formatting issues,” but critics say the errors undermine its credibility. How do you trust a report built on fake data?

Experts warn that the suppression of CDC communications, including the pause of the MMWR, undermines the agency’s ability to provide timely health information. The centralization of control under the Department of HHS raises concerns about political interference in public health messaging.
May 21, 2025 at 10:02 AM
The CDC’s communication channels have gone silent amid ongoing disease outbreaks. Newsletters and health alerts have ceased, and social media updates have halted, leaving the public uninformed about critical health issues. This communication breakdown poses significant risks to public health.

Breaking news! A new medication that was introduced 20 years ago has been found cure peanut allergy and other foods, even though it doesn’t. It does bring the threshold up to make it harder to have an allergic reaction. These news articles touting Xolair as a new cure are ridiculous.

🧵1/ BIG NEWS!! CDC just dropped a landmark report — the first US data on RSV hospitalizations after rollout of the maternal vaccine and infant antibody. What happened? Hospitalizations in babies under 3 months fell nearly 50% vs pre-pandemic years. Quietly, radically effective.
