I tuned into the CDC ACIP meeting to hear some woman reading some anti-vax screed rattling on about RSV vaccines a script that sounded like it was written by a chatbot. And it was Great Barrington Declaration guy Martin Kulldorf, who was interacting with the public commenters.
Anti-vax Sentiment On Display At Two-Day Vaccine Panel The meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices concluded with a vote to validate an unsupported anti-vaccine narrative. Walker Bragman Jun 27, 2025 The tone of the meeting was set out of the gate on Wednesday by chairman Martin Kulldorff, a biostatistician who previously worked at the anti-vax Brownstone Institute and co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued for a COVID mass infection herd immunity strategy. “If you have questions and concerns about the safety and efficacy of vaccines, we want to hear them…No questions should be off limits,” he said. Any doubt as to what Kulldorff might have meant was quickly laid to rest when he approvingly quoted Kennedy’s defense of his anti-vax views. “As Secretary Kennedy has eloquently stated, ‘opposing mercury in fish does not make you anti-fish, and opposing mercury in vaccines does not make you anti-vaccine,’” Kulldorff said. “In fact, to thoroughly scrutinize and ensure the safety and efficacy of vaccines is a pro-vaccine position.” The remark was a reference to the organomercury compound thimerosal, which is used as a preservative in some vaccines, including some flu vaccines, but has largely been removed from inoculations for decades. No evidence suggests it is dangerous.
There were, after all, a few non-anti-vax public comments, but It’s all just beyond.
We will be lucky if they haven’t already started eugenics programs at HHS powered by AI which will be blamed later for missteps.
