Former Joe Rogan Guest Selected by RFK Jr to Advise on Vaccines Once Claimed People Were 'Hypnotized' to Believe COVID-19 Reports

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has appointed eight new members to a federal vaccine advisory panel, including Dr. Robert Malone, a controversial figure who once claimed people were "hypnotized" into believing official COVID-19 guidance.

On Wednesday, Kennedy announced the new slate for the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on an X post. The panel advises both the CDC and HHS on vaccine policy.

According to Kennedy, all eight appointees are committed to requiring robust safety and efficacy data before recommending any new vaccines. Among the group is Malone, a former researcher involved in early mRNA studies who gained notoriety for his 2021 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience.
