Are the people able to free themselves from the grip of Big Pharma?
From Aaron Siri:
“Recently, Secretary Kennedy made some changes to the voting membership of CDC’s vaccine committee. However, the voting members are surrounded by 36 non-voting members who all shill for industry interests at the expense of vaccine safety.
A next step toward bringing just a bit of balance would be to add the following groups to the list of non-voting members:
• Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN)
• Medical Academy of Pediatrics & Special Needs (MAPS)
• Physicians for Informed Consent
• Children’s Health Defense
• Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)
The Secretary of HHS already has this authority directly under ACIP’s charter, as it allows for “such other non-voting liaison representatives as the Secretary deems necessary.”
This small change would bring us a bit closer toward making CDC a place that works for people and not pharma interests when it comes to vaccines.”
