Daily Wire

Former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky expressed serious concerns that the hand-picked panel lacks the necessary expertise to make decisions affecting all children in the country. The new appointees haven't been properly vetted and don't possess the areas of expertise traditionally required for such critical public health decisions. This dramatic reshaping threatens to make childhood vaccines harder to access when evidence-based recommendations are most needed.
