Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.

The 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been in a state of flux since Kennedy took over. Its first meeting this year had been delayed when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly postponed its February meeting.

    Let me guess which experts will get hired in their places

    One will be a 22 years old gardener with 4 years of extensive research on vaccines on various forums

    Another one will be someone with a master’s degree in arts but with ten years experience on bashing against vaccines on sitter

    Then there will be an high school dropout that became rich selling supplements on a website that is advocating using chlorine as eyedrop

    Finally some stay at home mom with 5 years of experience selling essential oils, specialized in curing any kind of disease, even terminal cancer
