Kennedy announced this overhaul as a way to “restore public trust in vaccines,” saying the new members he appointed are committed to demanding clear safety and efficacy data before recommending any vaccines. Significantly, the newly appointed members include physicians known for their skepticism regarding COVID-19 vaccines, such as Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Martin Kulldorff.
Justifying the reshuffle, Kennedy cited conflicts of interest among the previous committee members, saying the group had essentially become a “rubber stamp” for vaccine approvals. Writing in a Wall Street Journal editorial, he said that many members had ties to the pharmaceutical industry and that if he hadn’t taken action, President Trump wouldn’t have been able to influence the panel’s makeup until 2028.
Further defending his decision, Kennedy argues that the United States faces a “crisis of public trust” in its health authorities, which he blames not on misinformation but on regulatory capture and a lack of transparency in decision-making.
