The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) meetings have become a platform for anti-vaccine activists and unqualified presenters, raising concerns about the committee’s lack of expertise, incompetence, and biased decision-making. Despite CDC access to subject matter experts, ACIP ignored these voices, instead relying on presentations from individuals with questionable credentials. The committee’s votes on vaccine schedules and recommendations were marred by confusion, incorrect assumptions, and blatant anti-vaccine biases. As a result, the nation’s public health is put at risk.
