NPR reported, "Frieden, the former CDC director, agrees that conflicts of interest are cause for concern. "It is important to avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety. It is important that any potential conflict of interest that may unduly influence a recommendation be investigated," he says. But, Frieden says Kennedy's misleading statements "can undermine confidence in what is a very transparent, fact-based process," in which the committee debates and makes vaccine policies in
public live streamed meetings...Sowing doubts on the integrity of vaccine policymaking could lead to fewer people getting routine vaccines, says Orenstein at Emory. "It really scares me. I've seen measles, I've seen polio cases," he says. "I am very, very concerned that what is happening now will lead to more decreases in vaccine uptake and the return of these diseases.""
Everything that I have read so far about RFK Jr is that he will blame conflicts of interest or profiteering for the results of any study, the results of which are not to his liking. This is not skepticism; it is its exact opposite. I am probably repeating myself.
