HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is believed to be seeking to replace — for the second time — members of a key CDC panel that makes recommendations on vaccines.
The potential move comes just two weeks before a key meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is set to meet on Sept. 18 and 19.
Inside Medicine, citing CDC insiders, reported that seven new members of the panel have been selected, though they have yet to be formally appointed.
The outlet noted that several of the potential new members have spoken. out against mRNA vaccines and for ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment.
In June, RFK Jr. fired all the existing members of the ACIP and replaced them with his own vetted choices.
HHS has yet to return a request to comment from Seeking Alpha.
