RFK Jr.’s firing of U.S. immunization committee worrisome, Canadian scientists say
- On Monday in Toronto, the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services dismissed an immunization advisory panel and announced the selection of new vaccine advisors.
- This action followed prior cuts to NIH research funding and a Moderna vaccine contract cancellation, both raising concerns about anti-vaccine policies.
- Canadian scientists worry the firings and policy changes will increase disinformation, vaccine hesitancy, and could reduce vaccine production affecting Canada and the U.S.
- Virologist Angela Rasmussen warned that this approach encourages an environment where false anti-vaccine views face less scrutiny and become more widespread, potentially causing significant harm to vaccine availability.
- Experts said these measures threaten global responses to emerging infectious diseases and may lead to vaccine shortages and increased preventable outbreaks.
