Thank you for sharing Margaret Winker's insights aboutodat RFK's disposal of vaccine experts and replacement with his discredited friends. This is extremely troubling for those of us who witnessed children dying of infectious disease in the 1970s before GAVI began their vaccine distribution programs in LMIC like Bangladesh. Many families in USA will not be able to pay for routine childhood vaccines if their insurance does not cover the shots!
WAME must also be deeply concerned about RFK's June 16th declaration he will start new journals and demand that our federally-funded researchers publish in them, not respected peer-reviewed professional publishers like Lancet, NEJM, JAMA, etc. Who will decide on the standards for acceptable research? Perhaps we should respond to these attacks on scientific "free speech". [see: https://www.hifa.org/dgroups-rss/politico-rfk-jr-threatens-bar-governmen... ]
