So far, RFK Jr. and Trump are living up to their promises to try to clean up the food and medicine in this country, that’s riddled with horrific ingredients that cause disease and disorder like there’s no tomorrow. The worst arena for known toxins and carcinogens is the insidious vaccine industry, and RFK Jr. is canning some of the top pharma shills responsible for making decisions about the dirty jab racketeering arena.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Medical Association (AMA), and six other leading medical organizations have been removed from participating in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vaccine policy workgroups. These groups, which report to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), review scientific data and help form national vaccine recommendations.
- The CDC has removed eight major medical associations — including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Medical Association (AMA) — from its vaccine advisory workgroups, citing their status as “special interest groups” with potential conflicts of interest due to pharmaceutical industry funding.
- The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the move aims to eliminate bias and industry influence from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), whose recommendations guide vaccine coverage, mandates, and public health policy.
- The organizations condemned the decision as “irresponsible” and harmful to public trust, noting their long history of contributing to vaccine safety and policy development; however, all have financial ties to vaccine manufacturers and other pharmaceutical companies.
- This follows earlier reforms under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including replacing all 17 ACIP members and halting recommendations for flu vaccines containing thimerosal, while continuing to approve some new immunization products.
Major medical associations removed from CDC vaccine policy workgroups amid conflict-of-interest concerns
The decision, communicated via email last week, means these associations will no longer have seats in the closed workgroup sessions but can still attend open public meetings. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) justified the move by stating that such organizations represent “special interest groups” with inherent biases tied to their constituencies.
According to HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon, the removal is part of a broader reform to ensure vaccine policy is based solely on merit and expertise, free from external pressure, conflicts of interest, or adherence to “vaccine orthodoxy.”
The medical groups strongly condemned the change, calling it “irresponsible” and “dangerous to our nation’s health,” warning it could erode public trust in vaccines.
Their joint statement emphasized that their longstanding role in shaping U.S. vaccine policy has helped ensure safety, effectiveness, and credibility. In addition to the AAP and AMA, the statement was signed by the American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Physicians, American Geriatrics Society, American Osteopathic Association, Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the National Medical Association.
This move follows Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s earlier decision in June to retire all 17 ACIP members, citing widespread conflicts of interest — particularly financial ties to pharmaceutical companies. Several former members had been involved in promoting controversial vaccines such as COVID-19, RSV, and HPV shots. Kennedy subsequently appointed eight new members, though one declined to serve. Early actions by the reconstituted ACIP included halting recommendations for flu shots containing thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, and endorsing Merck’s new RSV monoclonal antibody for newborns.
Many of the ousted organizations have extensive financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry. The AAP counts major vaccine manufacturers, including Moderna, Merck, Sanofi, and Pfizer, among its corporate sponsors, and has spent hundreds of thousands annually on lobbying.
The AMA also receives substantial funding from pharmaceutical companies, including through the AMA Foundation, whose largest donor is PhRMA, the industry’s main lobbying group. Similar financial relationships exist across the other removed associations, with corporate sponsors including GSK, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Abbvie, and Johnson & Johnson.
In some cases, these groups have also taken strong policy stances that critics argue reflect industry influence. For example, the AAP recently called for eliminating religious and philosophical vaccine exemptions for children in schools, labeling them “problematic” despite constitutional protections for religious freedom.
New ACIP member Retsef Levi, Ph.D., stated that future workgroup participation will be determined solely by merit and expertise, excluding organizations with proven conflicts of interest or narrow public health agendas.
This sweeping restructuring marks a significant shift in how U.S. vaccine policy will be developed, aiming to reduce industry influence but sparking fierce debate over whether excluding major medical associations will enhance or undermine public health.
