Two new members — including a critic of COVID-19 vaccines — are joining the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vaccine advisory committee, less than a month before the panel meets to discuss COVID-19 vaccine injuries.
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. named Florida primary care physician Dr. Sean G. Downing and Texas pediatrician Dr. Angelina Farella to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
ACIP typically meets three times a year to review scientific data on the risks and benefits of vaccines and to issue vaccine recommendations. The CDC director has to adopt the recommendations before they become federal policy.
In a statement, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the selection of Downing and Farella reflects Kennedy’s commitment “to transparency, rigorous science, and diverse clinical expertise in guiding the nation’s immunization policies.”
Kennedy suggested the new members will help ACIP “scrutinize the evidence openly, ask hard questions, and earn the nation’s confidence through transparent deliberation.”
“Dr. Downing and Dr. Farella bring decades of real-world experience caring for children, adults, and families — and that frontline perspective is essential to making recommendations that are grounded in gold-standard science and worthy of public trust,” Kennedy said.
Acting CDC Director Jay Bhattacharya said the new members “strengthen ACIP with experienced clinicians who understand how immunization guidance matters for patients and families.”
An HHS spokesperson referred The Defender to the agency’s press release.
