ACIP—the external CDC advisory committee for US vaccine policy—is not meeting next week, as scheduled. This is a big deal; Americans rely on up-to-date information about eff. and safety of vaccines to make evidence-based decisions. We don’t know motivation, but this is why I’m getting nervous…

1. This is RFK Jrs first week as HHS sec, who has a long history of anti-vax views. 2. HHS says the ACIP meeting delay is to allow for public comment. This *is* required by law. But HHS has had since Feb 3 to open for public comment. It’s still not open.

I have literally checked every day since Feb 3rd. This is so disheartening and concerning.
