Stop RFK Jr. From Silencing Vaccine Experts

In a stunning move, RFK Jr. has dismantled the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), stripping away expert oversight just as the country faces a rise in measles outbreaks and COVID variants. This panel has long served as a critical guardrail, providing guidance on vaccine safety and effectiveness recommendations. Eliminating it opens the door to politicized, anti-science policies that threaten public health.

RFK Jr. is trying to replace trusted experts with hand-picked ideologues quietly. If we don’t speak out now, this could be the first step in undermining national immunization programs—putting millions of lives at risk.

This is a moment of public accountability. The media is watching. Congress is watching. Voters are watching. And your voice can tip the balance.

According to NPR and CNN, ACIP members were informed of their removal with no public explanation, despite decades of service. These are scientists who helped guide the U.S. through COVID-19, who ensured vaccines for polio, influenza, and childhood diseases remained safe and accessible. Removing them without cause isn’t reform—it’s sabotage.

We need action now. Before it’s too late. Before our public health infrastructure is dismantled piece by piece.

Add your name now to demand RFK Jr. reinstate the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee—and stop playing politics with our health.
