RFK Jr sacks entire US vaccine committee
US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has removed all members of the committee responsible for issuing official vaccination recommendations in a controversial move. Kennedy cited conflicts of interest and the need to ensure the safety of vaccines as reasons for replacing the committee. Critics argue that the mass sacking could lead to a further spread of vaccine-preventable illnesses and disrupt the vaccination process. The decision has raised concerns among health experts and organizations about the potential impact on public health decisions and vaccine recommendations.
