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.

    Just a reminder, you can get your and your loved ones’ immunity to various things tested and boosted now while there’s still time. I found out I am no longer immune to measles at 42 and am getting boostered as there’s a kid in my life.

      Had to get another one a few years ago for the same reason. Vaccinated as a child, no longer effective.
