KEY POINTS

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday said he is “retiring” all 17 members of a crucial government panel of vaccine advisors.

Kennedy is removing all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It’s the latest move by Kennedy – a prominent vaccine skeptic – to change and potentially undermine vaccinations in the U.S. since he took the helm at HHS.

Don't worry, he'll replace them soon.

The replacements?...

  • A 15 year old crypto edgelord who worships Elon Musk and Andrew Tate
  • The My Pillow guy
  • One of those interchangeable and disposable blonde Fox News presenters
  • Disgraced antivax crusader Andrew Wakefield
  • Dr Nick from The Simpsons
  • Dr John Zoidberg from Futurama
  • Mr Hankey
  • Nurgle, the Warhammer god of pestilence

He got lucky and got the no-show like in sopranos, so he's on the payroll but doesn't have to show up or do anything, not that the rest of them will do anything

Dr. Yap from Bob’s Burgers (or his voice actor, Dr. Ken Jeong but he’s probably not enough of a quack for the job)
