Subject Restore Independent Vaccine Advice at the CDC

I am writing about how Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has handled vaccine advice for the country.

In 2025, he replaced every member of the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, and in January 2026 the recommended childhood shots were cut from 17 to 11. On March 16, 2026, a federal judge in Boston blocked those changes, finding he had likely replaced the committee improperly. The country recorded more than 2,200 confirmed measles cases in 2025, the most since 1991.

Vaccine advice works only when families and doctors can trust how it was made.

Please use your oversight and funding power to restore independent, evidence-based vaccine advice at the CDC, chosen through the committee's normal public process.
