Trump’s Health Secretary RFK Jr. just dropped a bomb on the CDC, completely overhauling its vaccine advisory committee with fresh faces. We might finally find out whether vaccines do, in fact, cause the kinds of diseases Kennedy is obsessed with eradicating.
At a glance:
• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)
• Kennedy has already announced 8 new members committed to “evidence-based medicine”
• The former committee was entirely appointed during the Biden administration
• Kennedy claims the overhaul aims to restore public trust and prioritize unbiased science
• Health experts aligned with the previous administration have criticized the move
Kennedy Cleans House at CDC
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has taken decisive action by removing all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. This committee has significant influence over which vaccines are recommended and subsequently covered by insurance across America.
The overhaul comes after Kennedy identified what he described as conflicts of interest within the committee that was entirely appointed under the Biden administration. Thirteen of the members had just been appointed in 2024, raising questions about last-minute staffing decisions by the previous administration.
BREAKING: RFK Jr. appoints Dr. Robert Malone to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) — days after firing the entire panel!
Dr. Malone is the inventor of mRNA vaccines and has become a hero to the medical freedom movement.
The future is bright.

Kennedy has already announced eight new members who he says are “committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense.” The move represents a complete reset of a committee that has been criticized by many conservatives for its handling of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.

Restoring Trust in Vaccine Policy
In explaining his decision, Kennedy pointed to the need to restore public confidence in vaccine policy after years of controversial pandemic measures. The previous committee had been scheduled to vote on recommendations for COVID, flu, and RSV vaccines at their upcoming meeting.
Kennedy alleged that the former ACIP had never recommended against a vaccine, raising questions about their objectivity in evaluating vaccine safety and efficacy. This concern resonates with many Americans who felt pressured by government vaccine policies during the pandemic.
“All of these individuals are committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense,” Kennedy stated regarding his new appointees. The new committee will face the challenge of rebuilding trust in vaccine recommendations while ensuring public health needs are met.
RFK Jr. just FIRED the CDC’s entire panel of vaccine “experts.”
NBC called it Kennedy’s “most aggressive action” yet on vaccines.
This is the sweeping reform that Big Pharma was terrified of.
The level of corruption RFK Jr. exposed will shock you.

Opposition from Establishment Figures
Predictably, former CDC directors and organizations aligned with the previous administration have criticized Kennedy’s move. The American Medical Association and other establishment health organizations have expressed concern about the committee’s reconstitution.
A CDC official even resigned following Kennedy’s announcement about changing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations. This reaction highlights the resistance to change within the federal health bureaucracy that the Trump administration has pledged to reform.
The decision also reportedly contradicts Kennedy’s earlier promise to Senator Bill Cassidy not to change ACIP. However, supporters argue that the extent of the conflicts of interest Kennedy discovered upon taking office may have necessitated more dramatic action than initially anticipated.
ACIP’s recommendations directly impact which vaccines insurance companies will cover, making the committee’s composition a critical factor in American healthcare policy. Kennedy’s restructuring ensures that these important decisions will now be made by individuals who haven’t been influenced by the previous administration’s approach to public health.
