Thank you, Dr. Rasmussen, for this searing exposé. This group is not just unqualified; they are hostile to science, contemptuous of public health, and emblematic of the collapse of reasoned leadership. That they now control vaccine policy is the direct consequence of Donald Trump’s war on truth and RFK Jr.’s reckless crusade against evidence-based medicine.

This is not hyperbole. We are living in a Kafkaesque nightmare where ideology overrides science, and lives are put at risk for political theater. These appointments are not reforms; they are sabotage.

Profound thanks to you and the other courageous professionals still fighting to defend truth, integrity, and the future of public health.

Thanks for all of the information Dr. Rasmussen.

Also, I love your additional descriptive commentary, particularly under the portraits of our new ACIP members, adds some much needed humor to this particularly dark time in our history!

This is even more staggering when you compare this motley crew to the committee they replaced.

Our country has been turned into a kakistocracy headed by a malignant narcissistic sociopath who is the most stupid and cruel man to ever occupy the White House.

It is going to take us generations to undo the damage the short-fingered vulgarian is doing to this country; provided that we don't all die from a nuclear blast instigated by a tweet, or a virus loosed upon us by these colossal morons.
