Big Pharma is openly railing against RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda

  • Now, Merck, Sanofi and Pfizer executives publicly warned Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vaccine rhetoric is depressing confidence in seasonal flu shots.
  • After a year of policy shifts, HHS changes included halting the CDC’s flu campaign, postponing ACIP meetings, firing all 17 experts, and replacing them with eight advisors linked to vaccine denialism.
  • In presentations and interviews, executives added that Dean Li cannot foresee flu vaccination rising over three years due to anti-vaccine rhetoric, Albert Bourla warned of legal attacks on drug makers, and Noubar Afeyan urged objective evidence presentation as targets may expand.
  • A court hearing on February 13 will address the lawsuit, with a temporary restraining order filed in January 2026 to block the February 25-26 ACIP meeting, involving the American Academy of Pediatrics and others.
  • Plaintiffs and experts warn that restoring the ACIP to its April 15, 2025 state is essential, as abandoning U.S. evidence-based processes risks preventable morbidity and grave risk to children.
