The top outside vaccine adviser for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Sept. 18 called on critics to debate him.

As the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) opened its second meeting since being restructured, the committee’s chair, Martin Kulldorff, said that members of the public who are wondering whom to trust in the current discussions about vaccines should “only trust scientists who are willing to engage with and publicly debate the scientists with other views.”
