RFK pressured her to *pre approve* panel recommendations for a panel that had not actually met! "Once trusted experts are removed and advisory bodies are stacked, the results are predetermined. That isn’t reform. It is sabotage."

For reference, Kennedy ordered an audit of all the conflicts of interest for ACIP members- it didn't show anything of substance, so this is him simply lying to people's faces (not new ground for him). He explicitly says this is so that the Trump admin can appoint its own 17 ACIP members before 2028.
