Over the next century, #vaccines virtually wiped out long-feared scourges like #polio & #measles & drastically reduced the toll of many others. Today, however, some preventable, #ContagiousDiseases are making a comeback as #VaccineHesitancy pushes #immunization rates down. And well-established vaccines are facing suspicion even from *public officials*, w/ #RFKJr, a longtime #AntiVaccine activist, running the federal #health dept, #HHS.

The newly formed #vaccine advisory cmte handpicked by #HHS Secy #RFKJr announced it would examine the cumulative effect of the #ChildhoodVaccineSchedule & reevaluate #hepatitisB #immunization recommendations—a move that could shift long-standing practices of how & when #children are immunized in the #UnitedStates.

#RFKJr’s decision to “retire” the previous 17-member panel was widely decried by doctors’ groups & #PublicHealth orgs, who feared the advisers would be replaced by a group aligned w/RFKJr’s desire to *reassess*—& possibly end—longstanding #vaccination recommendations.

The new appointees to the Advisory Cmte on #Immunization Practices [#ACIP] include Dr. #RobertMalone, the fmr mRNA researcher who emerged as a close adviser to RFKJr in the #measles #outbreak.

Dr. William “Reyn” Archer III joined #HHS, which oversees #CDC, as a counselor in the secy's office after #RFKJr took over in Feb, records show. A critic of #vaccines on social media for the past several yrs, Archer served as TX state #health commissioner in the late 1990s.

#Trump #HHS Secy #RFKJr intends to shift the way #vaccines are tested, a move that the agency said will increase *transparency* but that #medical experts fear could limit #access to vaccines & undermine the public’s trust in #immunization depending on its implementation.

Now, all new vaccines must undergo placebo testing, a procedure in which some people receive the vaccine & others receive an inert substance before the results are compared.
