Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Health and Human Services Secretary, removed all members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
This move has been criticized by major physicians and public health groups as it could undermine vaccine confidence and public trust.
Kennedy, a former anti-vaccine activist, has not announced who will replace the ousted members.
Critics argue that Kennedy's actions could politicize ACIP and negatively impact vaccine access and coverage.
There are concerns about the potential loss of scientific rigor and increase in vaccine-preventable diseases due to this shift.
