US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), citing conflicts of interest as undermining public trust in vaccines. In his Wall Street Journal editorial, he expressed concerns that the committee had become a rubber stamp for vaccine approvals and stated his intent to ensure the safety of vaccines. Critics have questioned his vaccine skepticism, but Kennedy claims a systemic issue exists with health authorities and pharmaceutical companies contributing to a trust crisis.
Kennedy emphasized that his decision to remove Acip members stemmed from the need to restore trust in the vaccination process, citing conflicts of interest within the committee.
He claimed that the Advisory Committee has become a mere rubber stamp for vaccines and accused health authorities and drug companies of perpetuating a crisis of public trust.
