Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.

The 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been in a state of flux since Kennedy took over. Its first meeting this year had been delayed when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly postponed its February meeting.

      Except urban areas are much more susceptible to contagious diseases, and tend to run blue. This seems to be a calculated attempt to cull urban blue voters.

          Against what? No one is vaccinated against the next pandemic, and RFK is making sure Americans never will be.

          Vaccinations depend on herd immunity, which we don’t get if

          1. The vaccines are never approved and disseminated, which RFK seems hell bent on doing
          2. If a token size of the population doesn’t take the vaccine

        Yeah, they thought Covid would somehow stay in California and big cities, and kill mostly minorities, so they decided the best thing to do was nothing. Then all those people got vaccinated while the MAGA dumbasses refused, so it ended up killing far more conservatives than anyone else.

        Now measles is mostly spreading in Red areas where people actually listen to the morons.
