‘A bunch of cranks’: RFK Jr. stacks CDC Vaccine Advisory panel with anti-vaxxers and conspiracists Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gutted the existing CDC Vaccine Advisory panel, replacing existing experts with anti-vaxxers and conspiracists. MSNBC Public Health Analyst Dr. Irwin Redlener says “the actions that they are doing under his direction are undermining, not only essential vaccine information for Americans, but they’re pulling the legs out of the vaccine programs globally.” Pulitzer-Prize winning science journalist Laurie Garrett says this new committee is emblematic of “a government committed to destroying the truth-generating enterprise of science.” 

HHS Sec. RFK Jr. is the “most unqualified, misfit secretary…Ever,” says @irwinredlener.bsky.social. His replacement of CDC vaccine experts w/ ‘a bunch of cranks’ is emblematic of “a government committed to destroying the truth-generating enterprise of science,” says Science journalist Laurie Garrett
