None of the new appointees to the CDC vaccine panel have expertise in vaccines. The only difference between these people and Caligula’s horse is that the horse wasn’t an antivaxxer.
#HHS announced five new appointees to #ACIP just days ahead of an upcoming meeting that's set to weigh the future of at least three vaccinations.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
