RFK JR vaccine to review the long -applied strikes for children

The new members of the United States Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior, a vaccine consultant, will review the long -term fortified scales for children and adolescents.

The seven members of the ACIP consulting committee met for the first time on Wednesday, weeks after Kennedy overthrew all its 17 precedents.

ACIP recommends that vaccination and when the United States focuses on controlling and preventing diseases (CDC).

Before the meeting, public health experts and politicians raised concerns about the qualifications of new members – many of them are the critics of the vaccine.

The Minister of Health caused a stir when it is All ACIP members removed the 17th on June 9Then he chose eight new members to serve the committee – including the person who left hours before the first meeting.

Wednesday’s meeting with the new president, Dr. Martin Coldorf, started to tell the committee that he was expelled from his job as a professor at Harvard University because he refused to obtain a Covid-19 vaccine.

Dr. Coldorf also announced that the committee will launch new working groups to examine the applicable vaccination schedules and the approved seven years or more.

He said that it will be reviewed whether it is “wisdom” to give hepatitis B vaccines to the new iron, a shot that has proven safe and effective in preventing infection that causes liver cancer.

He said that the vaccine schedules will be reviewed for the group.

Bill Hanaj, a professor of epidemics at the Harvard University’s Public Health Faculty, said that seven years or more vaccines were examined, because it indicates that the process of approval was defective.

“I cannot think of any rational reason you will look at this and I think it’s the case,” he said.

The committee was initially assumed to vote on recommendations for RSV requests, which is the respiratory virus that could be dangerous for infants, but this was postponed.

On Thursday, the group is scheduled to hear a presentation on the use of Thimosal in the vaccines presented by Lin Redwood, a former leader to defend the health of children, the Kennedy Qazi Anti -Kennedy Group used to run it.

Lady Redwood was appointed by the Diseases Control Center to work in the Safety Office of Vaccines, according to the CBS News partner in BBC.

Dr. Hanaj said that the committee’s decision to discuss themesal, which is a preservative of mercury -based materials that have not been used in most vaccines for decades, is confusing.

In the past, he said, ACIP members had a wide range of vaccine experience and would examine vaccine recommendations for several months.

“People like him – people in the past who have shown a bias to combat Al -Qazam.”

The Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services said that one of the new ACIP members was Dr. Michael Ross, but he withdrew this week before reviewing the financial holdings of the members.

The Kennedy Committee’s options also sparked criticism from Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor who was doubting the vote to confirm Kennedy as Minister of Health for his positions on vaccines.

In a post on X, Cassidy said that the committee should not move forward at their meeting due to the size of the small group and the absence of the director of the Diseases Control Center to agree to their recommendations.

“Although the appointed in ACIP has scientific credentials, many of them do not have great experience in studying microbiology, epidemics, or immunology.”

“In particular, some lack experience in studying new technologies such as flexible vaccines, and they may have prior prejudice against them.”
