No surprise ACIP going ahead tomorrow
despite Senator Cassidy's call for a postponement yesterday. The final agenda was posted by CDC this morning. It shows an unusual slate of presenters.
The chair of Kennedy's ACIP is Martin Kulldorff, who has opposed vaccines, including testifying against Merck's HPV vaccine (https://covidandvaccineupdate.substack.com/p/quick-pick-lottery-acip-replacement). He will also be presenting on the measles vaccine in Thursday’s session.
The usual CDC staff who do the research on the meeting topics and present at the meeting are absent. One replacement is Lyn Redwood, a nurse who will speak on Thursday about thimerosal, a preservative in some flu vaccines. She is also a past president of Children's Health Defense, which was founded by Kennedy.
