Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced eight new members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) on June 11, a few days after he dismissed all 17 members of the panel. Kennedy said the members “are committed to evidence-based medicine, gold-standard science, and common sense.”
The new members of the committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines include an inventor, a Catholic nurse, and a former committee member.
It’s not clear whether Kennedy plans to appoint additional individuals to the committee and what type of vetting the new members went through. One said he completed three months of ethics vetting. Several organizations have voiced concern about the situation.
“The speed with which these members were selected, and the lack of transparency in the process, does not help to restore public confidence and trust, and contributes to confusion and uncertainty,” Dr. Jason Goldman, president of the American College of Physicians, said in a statement.
A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services responded: “Before starting work on ACIP, the new members’ ethics agreements will be made public. Every ACIP member will be vetted in accordance with their ethics agreement before they are permitted to participate in each meeting agenda item.”
Here’s a look at the new members.
Martin Kulldorff
An epidemiologist who was terminated by Harvard Medical School over his refusal to get a COVID-19 vaccine, Kulldorff has previously served on several federal committees, including the ACIP’s vaccine safety subgroup. He was known before the COVID-19 pandemic for creating software used for vaccine safety monitoring, including by the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink.
Kulldorff has opposed vaccinating children for COVID-19, pointing out that they face a much lower risk from the illness than older people.
