A federal panel filled with vaccine skeptics has bewildered public health experts and thrown vaccine makers into turmoil

The Trump administration is intensifying its campaign against vaccinations, with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy also recently stacked an important vaccine advisory panel with unqualified appointees, many of them holding anti-vaccine views. “Anti-vaccine activists have been shouting from the sidelines for decades. Now they’re making policy,” says Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
