The new members include well-known vaccine skeptics and others who have been critical of Covid vaccines or pandemic interventions like lockdowns.
Because, of course.
Lies that he won't touch the panel, then "replaces" that panel with cretins of his own germ-theory-denying vaccine-hating dubious fuck-witted sewer-swimming out-of-his-goddamned-worm-eaten-brain ilk.
Lemme guess, not one of them has any related education.
Edit: "The list includes Dr. Robert Malone, an anti-vaccine activist who suggested earlier this year, without evidence, that recent pediatric deaths from measles were due to medical error and Vicky Pebsworth, director of research and patient safety at the National Vaccine Information Center, considered a leading source of misinformation about vaccines.

I'd love to just enter the mind of someone like this to see what the thought process is... I guess his personal crusade is more important than basic honesty about reality
I don’t understand the end game here. What possible benefit is there to RFK or the federal government to reject sound science? I don’t see a profit motive, I don’t see a grift that’d be “worth” the deaths… it’s not like ivermectin is something you could profit off of… why?
For him, it’s about being right. After learning a bit about his past, it seems (to me anyway) that having an autistic kid kind of broke him. He’s been trying to fix it ever since. It’s sad, really.
He doesn't believe in Germ theory. He's utterly deranged. The grift is alternative medicine, but I don't know if he really understands that it's a grift. His bosses surely do, but they just want to inflict as much punishment on institutions as possible.

Fulfillment of their worldview based entirely on conspiracy theories.
Certain industries having to do with fraudulent medicine may get a boost from such a distorted government agency. This includes dozens of multi-level marketing corporations.
Also, Putin gets to benefit from the massive vaccine and medical disinformation program translating into gradual destabilization of the United States.
People need to focus on the aspect that RFK is undermining Trump's efforts. RFK is saying the vaccines that Trump signed executive orders to get Trump's FDA and the Trump's administrations emergency money expended upon pushed to market during Trump's presidency before the election ever took place that put Biden in.
RFK is saying that Trump was incompetent and put hundreds of millions of lives in danger. The lockdowns, pushed by the Trump administration.
If the media would point out that Trump is at the heart of it, Trump would fire him.
The lockdowns started March 17th, 2020 here. I remember because it was St. Patricks day. Long before Biden was elected or took office in January, 2021.
