Kennedy Fires Vaccine Panel: Experts Fear Erosion of Public Trust

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s dismissal of the CDC's vaccine advisory committee has sparked widespread concern among health experts. Doctors worry that this move will erode public confidence in vaccines, potentially leading to lower vaccination rates. The video highlights the concerns of these experts and the significant combined medical experience of the dismissed committee members, exceeding 460 years. Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican Senator from Louisiana and a physician himself, has voiced his concerns and is actively engaging with Secretary Kennedy to ensure that the committee's replacement members are appropriately qualified. Cassidy's statement, "Of course, now the fear is that the ACIP will be filled up with people who know nothing about vaccines except suspicion," underscores the gravity of the situation. While the CDC's vaccine recommendations remain unchanged for now, the situation warrants close monitoring due to its potential impact on public health.
