Applaud Senate Democrats for Defending Vaccine Integrity

Democrats on the Senate Health Committee are taking bold action to defend science, transparency, and public trust.

Led by Sen. Bernie Sanders, these lawmakers have launched a formal investigation into Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sudden and sweeping removal of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel — a move that threatens decades of science-based, nonpartisan public health policy.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) plays a critical role in reviewing data and making expert vaccine recommendations — especially for children and vulnerable communities. Replacing qualified, independent experts with anti-vaccine ideologues puts lives at risk and undermines the integrity of our health system.

This investigation sends a clear message: politics has no place in public health.

Add your name to applaud Senate Democrats for standing up for science, accountability, and protecting Americans from dangerous disinformation.
