💨 Abstract

Former advisers to U.S. vaccine policy, all dismissed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., criticized the new panel's methodology, noting a lack of rigorous scientific review. In a Journal of Medicine commentary, they explained their dismissal and proposed alternatives to Kennedy's new panel, which includes vaccine skeptics. They suggested establishing an independent vaccine policy committee or having professional organizations create unified recommendations. The former advisers acknowledged the financial and logistical challenges of their proposals.
