Restore a scientific ACIP for vaccine oversight

Removing the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices raises serious concerns about undermining scientific expertise in vaccine policy decisions. The claim of pervasive conflicts of interest appears unfounded given the rigorous screening and recusal processes in place. Vaccine recommendations should be guided by objective analysis of data, not conspiracy theories or ideological agendas. Restoring the expert panel is crucial to ensuring immunization policies prioritize public health and safety based on scientific evidence. Short-term political interests must not supersede long-standing procedures that have successfully protected millions from preventable diseases. A truly unbiased approach requires empowering independent scientific bodies, not dismantling them. I urge you to reinstate the ACIP members to uphold public trust in the integrity of the immunization program.
