Leader Schumer Statement On RFK Jr. Dismantling Entire CDC Vaccine Advisory Committee
Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after HHS Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices:
"RFK Jr. and the Trump administration are taking a wrecking ball to the programs that keep Americans safe and healthy. Firing experts that have spent their entire lives protecting kids from deadly disease is not reform - it's reckless, radical, and rooted in conspiracy, not science. Wiping out an entire panel of vaccine experts doesn't build trust - it shatters it, and worse, it sends a chilling message: that ideology matters more than evidence, and politics more than public health."
