Kennedy Jr., a prominent figure in the anti-vaccine movement, has added more like-minded members to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) vaccine advisory panel. The panel is set to meet this week and could potentially limit access to several crucial vaccines, including those for measles, hepatitis B, and COVID-19. The article highlights concerns from public health experts who argue that these appointments could undermine the panel's scientific integrity and put public health at risk.

The article notes that the panel's decisions could have far-reaching consequences, potentially affecting vaccination policies and access to these important vaccines. The situation is viewed as a concerning development in the ongoing debate around vaccine safety and efficacy.
