Kennedy Adds Five New Members to Vaccine Committee

The Kennedy administration has appointed five new members to the vaccine committee, which is set to meet on Thursday to review recommendations for various vaccines. The committee, whose members were selected by the health secretary, includes individuals who are skeptical of vaccines. The composition of the committee has raised concerns among public health experts, who worry that the inclusion of vaccine skeptics could lead to the undermining of established scientific consensus on the safety and efficacy of vaccines. However, the administration has defended the decision, stating that it is important to have diverse perspectives on the committee. The upcoming meeting will likely be closely watched as the committee's recommendations could have significant implications for the vaccination policies and programs in the country.
