RFK Jr.'s HHS Rewrites the Rules for CDC's Vaccine Panel

2026-07-06

Summary

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s HHS rewrote the charter of the CDC's vaccine advisory committee (ACIP) in 2026, broadening membership rules to include his allies and emphasizing 'gaps in vaccine safety research.'
Kennedy had earlier dismissed all 17 sitting ACIP members and replaced them with new appointees, several with records of overstating vaccine harms.
A federal judge temporarily blocked some changes, calling several appointees 'distinctly unqualified'; the revised childhood schedule now resembles Denmark's, covering 11 diseases instead of 18.

The question

RFK Jr.'s vaccine-policy overhaul endangers public health.
