CDC vaccine advisory panel

The discussion and votes today by #ACIP on thimerosal and flu vaccines broke the mold of how the work of that committee has been conducted. And it likely foretells how the newly constituted ACIP — Kennedy's ACIP — will conduct itself in future. www.statnews.com/2025/06/26/rfk-jr-new-acip-panel-bans-thimerosal-in-flu-shots-preservative-long-a-target-of-antivax-activists/

Yesterday #CDC posted an extraordinary (also thorough & very useful) pre-buttal of claims about thimerosal in flu vaccines that will be made tomorrow at #ACIP. #HHS made CDC take it down. Never a dull moment these days. www.statnews.com/2025/06/25/cdc-vaccines-advisory-committee-meeting-day-1/

We can't become numb to this lunacy. Republicans can't let anti-vaxxers like Lyn Redwood help OVERSEE vaccine safety. She will spread even more dangerous lies about vaccines—and she’s going to get kids killed. She doesn't belong anywhere near CDC. www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murray-calls-on-white-house-to-reverse-reported-hiring-of-anti-vaxx-conspiracy-theorist-lyn-redwood-to-cdc/
