The new members of the committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention include an inventor, a Catholic nurse, and a former committee member.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the eight new members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) on June 11, a few days after he dismissed all 17 members of the panel. Kennedy said the members “are committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense.”
