A shake-up this morning at the CDC's top vaccine advisory panel, and it's raising eyebrows
0:08
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has named eight new members to the committee that
0:13
recommends vaccines, just days after firing the entire group of 17 advisors. Kennedy says the new
0:19
members are highly credentialed, but at least four have publicly questioned vaccines or COVID

mandates. That includes Dr. Robert Malone, known for pushing unproven COVID treatments

and Dr. Martin Kulldorff, who co-authored the controversial Great Barrington Declaration, a document that opposed lockdowns. Critics say Kennedy's picks are political and risk
0:40
undermining trust in public health. The revamped panel meets later this month with big decisions

ahead, including possible updates to the HPV vaccine schedule
