The cure is worse than the disease.

I had to go to multiple family zoom funerals for covid deaths and my kid has long covid so the disease is very very very bad.

It sounds like your family has a genetic issue. I do not know a single person who died of COVID or has "long COVID".

Okay genetic Superstar. Don't ever go to seek treatment for anything ever. Survival of the fittest and anyone that dies or is permanently maimed deserves it for their genetic inferiority.

I guess if you or one of your relatives is injured in a violent assault or infected with a serious virus, they were genetically inferior and deserved it. Tough luck.

And when Trump got covid as president, he went to Walter Reed and got pumped up with all the latest and greatest medical intervention for covid. What a genetic weakling

I'm so glad my kids are grown and fully vaxed. Gonna be alot of sick kids coming through the ranks and spreading disease.
Kennedy is an IDIOT and should be removed from office/impeached. Cassidy would be brave to actually take the step.

That is why, under my direction, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is putting the restoration of public trust above any pro- or antivaccine agenda. The public must know that unbiased science guides the recommendations from our health agencies. This will ensure the American people receive the safest vaccines possible.

Today, we are taking a bold step in restoring public trust by totally reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP). We are retiring the 17 current members of the committee, some of whom were last-minute appointees of the Biden administration. Without removing the current members, the current Trump administration would not have been able to appoint a majority of new members until 2028.

ACIP evaluates the safety, efficacy and clinical need of the nation’s vaccines and passes its findings on to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The committee has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine. It has never recommended against a vaccine—even those later withdrawn for safety reasons. It has failed to scrutinize vaccine products given to babies and pregnant women. To make matters worse, the groups that inform ACIP meet behind closed doors, violating the legal and ethical principle of transparency crucial to maintaining public trust.

In 2000 the House issued the results of an investigation of ACIP and another vaccine advisory committee under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration—the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee. It found that enforcement of its conflict-of-interest rules was weak to nonexistent. Committee members regularly participated in deliberations and advocated products in which they had a financial stake. The CDC issued conflict-of-interest waivers to every committee member. Four out of eight ACIP members who voted in 1997 on guidelines for the Rotashield vaccine, subsequently withdrawn because of severe adverse events, had financial ties to pharmaceutical companies developing other rotavirus vaccines. A 2009 HHS inspector-general report echoed these findings. Few committee members completed full conflict-of-interest forms—97% of them had omissions. The CDC took no significant action to remedy the omissions.

These conflicts of interest persist. Most of ACIP’s members have received substantial funding from pharmaceutical companies, including those marketing vaccines. The problem isn’t necessarily that ACIP members are corrupt. Most likely aim to serve the public interest as they understand it. The problem is their immersion in a system of industry-aligned incentives and paradigms that enforce a narrow pro-industry orthodoxy. The new members won’t directly work for the vaccine industry. They will exercise independent judgment, refuse to serve as a rubber stamp, and foster a culture of critical inquiry—unafraid to ask hard questions.

A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science. In the 1960s, the world sought guidance from America’s health regulators, who had a reputation for integrity, scientific impartiality and zealous defense of patient welfare. Public trust has since collapsed, but we will earn it back.

Make a solid argument why this shouldn't happen. I am all ears.

Exactly. The medical mafia has been in control for decades, yet Americans keep getting sicker and sicker.

Funny how research is always booming. Enough already!

you have got to be F-ing KIDDING me...they are looking at a report from a GENERATION ago that was POLITICAL. ACIP is not and SHOULD NOT be POLITICAL! You are NUTS. Enjoy the re-emergence of diseases once eradicated and while we are at it...not having access to any breakthrough medications because we are EXPORTING all of our innovators. The loonies are in control and there is not one elected official in the majority who is willing to stand up and say enough! These are very dark times

Not in Abbot’s case.

Does he even realize that the ACIP is not who approves vaccines? It's the FDA that approves vaccines. ACIP just provides guidance for their use after FDA approval, but not the initial approval of them at all.

If they are fully grown then they aren’t fully vaxxed by current standards. You aren’t either…

“This independent group of experts makes recommendations to the CDC on the use of Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccines to control vaccine-preventable diseases and protect our health.

It's important to note that ACIP recommendations adopted by the CDC director must be covered by applicable health plans and are therefore the link to affordable access to vaccines for most Americans.

Part of a troubling pattern
Kennedy's rationale, laid out in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, was based on a series of inaccuracies, calling the ACIP "little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine," and made accusations with little actual evidence, claiming it is "plagued by persistent conflicts of interest.

As standard protocol, members must declare conflicts at the start of every meeting and must recuse themselves from matters in which a conflict could influence their actions. The only "proof" Kennedy offered on conflicts of interest were oversight reports on investigated activities from at least 18 years ago.”

And were not truly conflict of interest even then, they were typos, etc. He even misreported that " 97 percent" statistic from years ago.

This. Most of the GenXers posting here and especially boomers only had a fraction of shots kids born in the last decade are getting. And immigrants have different shots and fewer of them. There isn’t a uniform vax schedule around the world, even developed 1st world. I think USA has the most intense vax schedule compare to Europe, for example. Yet, they live..

There are no breakthroughs if we continue doing thing the old way and say the “science is settled”. We continue going down the route of old understanding of immunology, virology and infection disease from the 1960s. And if agencies are run by Pharma shills or become politicized nothing positive will happen. Yeah, I agree, time for some breakthrough here.

You're nitpicking a stat (perhaps correctly) as though it disproves the notion that there is severe regulatory capture. This is what frustrates many of us about the oh-so-smart people guffawing the MAHA movement.

I know a person who has long COVID. 100% disabled by it.

Now what?

RFK himself did a review in 2025 and did not find jack.
