Appointment of ACIP members is usually a lengthy, rigorous process to ensure adequate expertise to minimize bias. There is no way the newly announced members have gone through the usual levels of scrutiny to minimize conflicts. A slapdash process will not be seen as legitimate.

Interesting twist. Maybe they can expand "peaceful use" to include X. At the very least it's evidence in support of their claim.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?
