RFK Jr. rewrites CDC vaccine panel rules

RFK Jr. has overhauled the charter of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, embedding anti-vaccine language and opening membership to fringe groups that were previously excluded from the body that sets US vaccine policy. The move is the most structural change yet to the nation's immunisation advisory infrastructure and signals a deliberate shift in how vaccine recommendations will be shaped going forward. ACIP's guidance influences vaccine schedules for roughly 330 million Americans.
