ThankYou , Dr Higgins for writing about the importance of a strong, centralized and scientifically based national vaccine program and the history of the one we used to rely on. It’s important to speak out now more than ever.
David: Thank you for sharing the history of the ACIP. We had a similar experience with the CDC Lead Advisory Committee at the CDC. In 2002, Rep. Edward Markey and Senator Henry Waxman released a report titled “Turning Lead Into Gold: How the Bush Administration is Poisoning the Lead Advisory Committee at the CDC.” The report showed that the administration blocked CDC–nominated public health experts from joining the ACCLP and appointed members with industry ties, including connections to lead manufacturers and law firms associated with lead industries. It derailed policy for several years.
