More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children.

But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t.

All 17 independent vaccine experts—scientists and doctors who’ve spent their careers protecting children—have been fired. Not because the science changed, but because ideology took its place.

In their seats now are individuals who not only lack the expertise we need to guide vaccine policy, but who have a track record of spreading vaccine misinformation.

This decision doesn’t reflect families. It doesn’t reflect science. It strips away the trusted voices parents rely on and replaces them with anti-vaccine activism.

That’s not protecting families. That’s taking away their power to make informed decisions—and putting kids at risk.

Deeply concerned and frustrated by this decision. Vaccines save lives.

Pediatricians rely on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to guide vaccine recommendations based on science, not politics. The AAP is alarmed by the firing of all 17 members. Today's decision is about undermining independent medical expertise and will only further endanger the health of the American public, especially children.
