A few weeks ago an activist judge wiped out the changes @RobertFKennedyJr. had made to the vaccine program and abolished his Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. A lot of people saw that as a devastating loss. We saw a window.

ICAN submitted a letter to Secretary Kennedy, drafted by our attorney @AaronSiri , laying out exactly what he could still do. Expand the ACIP membership criteria. Bring in people who specialize in vaccine safety and injury, not just the people who make vaccines and promote them. Add liaison representatives so that injured people and the organizations fighting for them actually have a seat at the table, instead of leaving it entirely to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Days after receiving that letter, Robert Kennedy Jr. made exactly those changes to the ACIP charter.

When I was a kid I was taught that when something looks dark, you look for the window. That's what we did.

That's what Kennedy did. I want to thank him.

These are the changes we have been fighting for. This is what it looks like when it starts to work.
