Another sharp, well-reasoned post. Thank you, Dr. Faust, for continuing to speak out with clarity and urgency. What’s happening here is staggering: RFK Jr. has dismantled the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and handpicked a fringe group to replace it, many of whom lack expertise in immunology, epidemiology, or public health. It’s not a debate, it’s a takeover. We are back in a Kafkaesque nightmare, where scientific integrity is being quietly replaced by ideology and pseudoscience. Your work helps keep the truth visible.
I first heard the word “Kafkaesque” long before I ever read Kafka, but I instinctively understood what it meant: being trapped in a system so irrational, so opaque, that evidence, reason, and protest are powerless. Watching what’s happening to public health policy in the U.S. today, that word keeps coming back.
All of these resistance strategies are laudable & necessary with the ultimate goal of establishing credible processes with credible experts! I especially applaud Dr. Osterholm’s efforts to establish a “ shadow ACIP to provide critical advice to patients, providers & payers. It is essential to protect public safety first & foremost while working to replace this current regime.
Dr. Faust, how can we support Dr. Osterholm’s efforts? I would love more information on this.
In RFK Jr.'s testimony today he claims (lies) that he did not have the agreement with Cassidy. It comes near the end of this video where he is aptly grilled by Rep. Kim Schrier (Washington). Watch the whole thing.
I wrote to Senator Cassidy and will write again to encourage him to basically “put up or shut up” as lip service won’t cut it. Thank you to you and your colleagues who are working tirelessly to help us from derailing further!
Once again, thank you for the awesome information update. It is undortunate that the mainstream media doesn't make these vital events accessible to the general public!! People are distracted by nonsense while the health of their families and themselves is in the balance. Meanwhile, the progress you report is so encouraging; your group's work is probably going to save lives in the long run!

Do you watch his CIDRAP podcast? The latest one spoke about his efforts and what can be done to support them.
Thank you! I will!
This joke (if only) of an ACIP meeting will be recorded for posterity. Your response to Senator Cassidy was perfect.
