Some have little to no documented experience with vaccines while others have undermined their safety

Five new advisers will join the vaccines committee for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) later this week, the agency and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on Monday, in a move that underscores the increasingly anti-vaccine stance of the committee.

Some of the new members have little to no documented experience with vaccines, while others have repeatedly undermined the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and other measures to control infectious disease.

The news comes on the heels of resignations by senior health leaders who say they were ignored or pressured to participate in unscientific processes, including changes to Covid vaccine eligibility and access.

    I think we saw what will happen with the whole jobs data fiasco. Some report will come out saying autism rates are the same, the govt will claim fake news , fire someone, then come out with their own numbers in black sharpie showing rates are super low, the best numbers. And no child deaths recently either, none.
