RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Panel Votes Down Its Own Proposal to Require Prescriptions for Covid-19 Shots

The article reports on a contentious meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), where a proposal to require prescriptions for COVID-19 vaccines was ultimately voted down. The meeting was described as chaotic, with some panelists appearing unaware of the purpose of the discussion, and others veering off into unrelated tangents. The article suggests that the proposal to require prescriptions for COVID-19 vaccines was brought forward, but ultimately rejected by the ACIP. The reasons for the rejection are not entirely clear from the article, as it portrays the meeting as disorganized and lacking a clear focus. The article does not provide detailed information about the specific arguments or rationale behind the ACIP's decision. It simply reports on the outcome of the vote and the chaotic nature of the proceedings, without delving deeper into the underlying issues or the broader context surrounding the proposal.
