- In 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who oversees health policy, dismissed all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and appointed eight new individuals who lack substantial backgrounds in fields such as microbiology, epidemiology, or immunology.
- This move came after Kennedy's effort to reform the government panel responsible for vaccine recommendations, despite his earlier assurance during confirmation that he would leave the group unchanged and opposition from Senator Bill Cassidy earlier that year.
- Kennedy accused the dismissed experts of conflicts of interest with vaccine companies, claims contested due to existing stringent oversight, while his statements emphasized protecting individual health choice over government mandates.
- Critics, including senior CDC physician Dr. Fiona Havers, warned early this month that Kennedy's new panel could lead to increased deaths, noting vaccines' safety and citing analysis estimating 250,000 Americans died unnecessarily from COVID after refusing vaccination.
- Kennedy's decisions and the administration's previous undermining of medical expertise and research funding suggest potential setbacks in vaccine development and public health, raising concerns about vaccine confidence and access in the United States.
