Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday that he won’t appoint “anti-vaxxers” to replace all the members of the vaccine recommendation committee he fired earlier this week.
“This has been a long time coming,” Kennedy told reporters of the committee shake-up.
During a press appearance with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Kennedy described the new committee appointees, none of whom have been announced, as “credentialed scientists, highly credentialed physicians” who will use “evidence-based medicine” when deciding which vaccines to recommend.
