Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Wednesday eight new members of the CDC's independent vaccine advisory committee, some of whom have been critics of shots.
Among the eight people Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced would make up his new group of outside vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are an emergency physician who posted Islamophobic commentary on social media and two doctors who were paid to provide expert testimony in trials against a vaccine maker.
The Health and Human Services secretary said he is "retiring" all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, which helps set recommendations for vaccines.
