🧪This needs to happen. The current ACIP panel cannot be trusted & any guidance from them is no longer credible. The American Academy of Pediatrics will still be recommending vaccines as done previously. 🔗 publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

1/ Today, #ACIP —the U.S. committee that sets vaccine policy—is meeting for the first time under new RFK Jr.–appointed members. One hot topic? The safety of thimerosal-containing flu vaccines. Let’s break down what it is, why it matters, and what’s at stake. 🧵

I keep seeing posts from people testing positive for Covid after going to a convention. The scary part is that most don't even test for it. I keep seeing people angry at others for going to cons sick. While never masking at cons or doing anything to reduce risk of spreading it.

RUIZ: Did you read the report & fact-check its sources prior to publication? RFK JR: I did not fact check RUIZ: It included citations to sources that don't exist. How does that happen? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions are accurate RUIZ: They did not exist. How can they be accurate?

Secretary Kennedy replaced CDC’s vaccine advisors based on false claims of conflicts of interest, and yet one of his new ACIP appointees reported more conflicts than all the 17 fired members combined. Striking.

If you want people to trust vaccines, you don’t fire experts and give the mic to people who’ve spent years casting doubt. That’s not balance. It risks unraveling decades of public health progress. Trust is built through evidence, not agendas that reject science. www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-inte...

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.
