The article discusses the creation of a new vaccine panel by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist. The panel, which includes several members of the anti-vaccine community, has raised concerns that it may undermine the established scientific consensus on vaccine safety and efficacy. The article highlights that the panel's formation comes at a time when vaccine hesitancy is on the rise, leading to outbreaks of preventable diseases.
