Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appointed five new members to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), a move criticized by public health experts. The new members include individuals with past skepticism towards vaccine mandates and promotion of unproven treatments. This follows Kennedy's earlier purging of ACIP members, raising concerns about the committee's future objectivity in making crucial vaccine recommendations. The ACIP will meet this week to review data and make recommendations on various vaccines.
