RFK Jr. appeals ruling that wiped out his vaccine advisory panel

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has appealed a court ruling that invalidated his restructuring of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, ACIP.

The dispute centers on a revised charter that expanded his power to appoint members and shifted the panel’s priorities toward vaccine risks.

A committee vice chair resigned after a public clash over whether ACIP had been dissolved and replaced.

The case could determine who controls a key federal vaccine advisory panel and whether it can be reshaped to include anti-vaccine allies.
