#RFKJr’s decision to “retire” the previous 17-member panel was widely decried by doctors’ groups & #PublicHealth orgs, who feared the advisers would be replaced by a group aligned w/RFKJr’s desire to *reassess*—& possibly end—longstanding #vaccination recommendations.

The new appointees to the Advisory Cmte on #Immunization Practices [#ACIP] include Dr. #RobertMalone, the fmr mRNA researcher who emerged as a close adviser to RFKJr in the #measles #outbreak.

Malone, who runs a *wellness* institute & a popular blog, rose to popularity during the #COVID-19 #pandemic as he relayed #ConspiracyTheories around the #outbreak & the #vaccines that followed. He has appeared on podcasts & other *conservative* news outlets where he’s promoted unproven & alternative treatments for #measles & COVID-19.

He has claimed that millions of Americans were HYPNOTIZED into taking the #COVID-19 shots [FFS]. He’s even suggested that those #vaccines cause a form of #AIDS. He’s downplayed deaths related to one of the largest #measles #outbreaks in the US in years.
