US EditionCassidy calls for postponing RFK Jr’s vaccine advisory panel meeting
- Senator Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican and chairman of the Senate health committee, urged postponing this week's meeting of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s newly appointed vaccine advisory panel.
- Cassidy called for postponing the next meeting after Kennedy abruptly dismissed all 17 current members of the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and appointed eight newcomers who lack key expertise.
- Cassidy expressed concerns on X that the small panel lacks sufficient scientific credentials, no CDC director is in place, and some appointees may hold biases against mRNA vaccines.
- He argued that the upcoming Wednesday meeting should be postponed until the committee is expanded and fully staffed, including having a CDC Director to authorize the panel’s recommendations, emphasizing the need for a more complete and scientifically credible group.
- The delay request highlights tensions over vaccine policies and suggests the need for greater expertise and public confidence before moving forward with the panel's agenda.
