Hacks are gonna hack.

Using the legitimacy of the CDC to push their quack bulls(*& that has been debunked repeatedly.

I'd like to ask Elon Musk if it would be ok if SpaceX replaced rocket scientists with people who would sweal loyalty to Donald Trump? And, if not why hasn't he been more vocal in the defense of science in other fields, considering the anti-science President's opinions now about this board of advisors on vaccines?

All childhood vaccines in question after first meeting of RFK Jr.'s vaccine panel
arstechnica.com

... A federal vaccine panel entirely hand-selected by health secretary and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gathered for its first meeting Wednesday -- and immediately announced that it would re-evaluate the entire childhood vaccination schedule, as well as the one for adults. ...

An hour before the meeting began, the American Academy of Pediatrics came out swinging against the new panel, saying that the panel's work is "no longer a credible process." The organization shunned the meeting, refusing to send a liaison to the panel's meeting, which it has done for decades.

"We won't lend our name or our expertise to a system that is being politicized at the expense of children's health," AAP President Susan Kressly said in a video posted on social media.

The panel in question, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), has for more than 60 years provided rigorous public scientific review, discussion, and trusted recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how vaccines should be used in the US after they've earned approval from the Food and Drug Administration. The CDC typically adopts ACIP's recommendations, and once that happens, insurance providers are required to cover the cost of the recommended shots.

The system is highly regarded globally. But, on June 9, Kennedy unilaterally and summarily fired all 17 esteemed ACIP members and, two days later, replaced them with eight new people. Some have clear anti-vaccine views, others have controversial and contrarian public health views, and several have little to no expertise in the fields relevant to vaccines. ...

RFK jr is an adult? He doesn't act like one.

It's hilarious who members of the Turd Reich consider to be "adults".

who was NOT elected

It's not an elected position you stupid f.

Fauci was reappointed under both Democrat and Republican administrations. He operated for decades without controversy.

Then Fatty McSh*tstain came into office with his double-digit understanding of medicine. When Fauci corrected him, he became enemy #1.

He needed a pardon because of the predictable partisan persecution you idiots were going to subject him to. Just the amount of stupidity he'd have to listen to constitutes Cruel and Unusual punishment in my book.

Like yours.
