Is vaccine safety under review? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has selected seven new members for the US CDC's vaccine advisory panel.
Kennedy's choices, revealed in a recent document, include individuals with varying perspectives on vaccine science, sparking debate. The panel will advise on vaccine policies and recommendations for the nation.
According to Reuters, the new members were announced this week, with some known for questioning established vaccine narratives. This shift comes as public trust in vaccines remains a concern, with recent data showing a slight decline in childhood vaccination rates.
The CDC confirmed the appointments, stating they aim to ensure diverse viewpoints inform their decision-making process. Experts anticipate the panel's recommendations will be closely watched as the nation navigates ongoing public health challenges.
