31. ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. I've worked with members of that ACIP committee. They have gone through an intensely

rigorous process to preempt ANY conflict of interest. Of course they may have had partially funded work in the past--but they not only have to disclose it, but cannot be currently funded by pharmx on any related issue to serve on ACIP.

This, womanofthehills is absolute propaganda promoted by MAGA and RFK JR. I won't prejudge you for posting it, but YOU need to do your homework before buying into this absolute BULLSHIT.


https://www.cdc.gov/acip/disclosures/by-member.html

ACIP members are screened for conflicts of interest through a rigorous process, including mandatory disclosures at every meeting and recusal from deliberations and votes on related topics. Potential members are also screened before appointment, with those having significant vaccine-related ties at the time of application not considered.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Mandatory Disclosures:
At the beginning of each ACIP meeting, members must declare any potential or perceived conflicts of interest. This includes financial interests, business connections, or other affiliations with relevant organizations.

Recusal:
Members with declared conflicts of interest are instructed to recuse themselves from discussions and votes on topics related to those conflicts. This includes products from the same manufacturer or companies directly competing with the product in question.
Pre-Appointment Screening:
Candidates for ACIP membership undergo careful screening for potential conflicts of interest before being submitted for final consideration. This includes checking for direct employment or immediate family employment by vaccine manufacturers, patent ownership, or other conflicts that could compromise objectivity.
Transparency:
The CDC (.gov) has a tool available to the public that allows them to search for previous disclosures by ACIP members. /excerpt]

The link above allows you to review the disclosures of every single damned member of the committee, womanofthehills. Kindly take the time to inform yourself and stop promoting this RFK JR and MAGA anti-vaxxer/anti-CDC/Anti-Science BULLSHIT.

Here is from Trump's own first term Surgeon General, Dr. Jerome Adams. He may have been an early Trumper, but he's telling you the truth that you need to read:

You are welcome to PM me, if you would like more information from a highly informed and educated source, should you desire. I would certainly welcome working with you to avoid any continued "misunderstandings" about who this committee has been comprised of and how it has provided invaluable recommendations for many decades. They have truly acted to protect YOUR and all of our health and to ensure that insurance covers these critical vaccines. RFK JR is going to ensure that it does not continue in the future and you will join me in being devastated if that happens.
