The 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been in a state of flux since Kennedy took over. Its first meeting this year had been delayed when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly postponed its February meeting.
Kennedy, who was one of the nation’s leading anti-vaccine activists before becoming the nation’s top health official, recently took the unusual step of changing COVID-19 recommendations without first consulting the panel.
Kennedy, in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, said the committee members had too many conflicts of interest. Committee members routinely disclose any possible conflicts at the start of public meetings.
THIS is what I voted for!
Long time coming. Thank you Mr. Kennedy.
If anyone thinks this is not a problem, most of the people who filled the ranks of the advisory committee made profits off of vaccines. Many held patents and received royalties on these products. For example look up Dr Paul Offit known as Dr Paul Profit who “voted himself rich”. Sat on the committee and approved his OWN vaccine!!
Baruch Hashem!!! I hope all these changes will actually result in real change for the better.
About time. No do what you promissed and bring back liability to ALL medical intervention including inoculation. No more free passes.
