Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has shared his concerns about Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s picks for a vaccine advisory panel, arguing that the committee’s next meeting should be delayed until more members with relevant experience can be selected.
Earlier this month, Kennedy removed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. He replaced them with eight new members, some of whom are known to be vaccine skeptics. The group is set to meet for the first time on Wednesday and Thursday.
