They include a scientist who researched mRNA vaccine technology and became a conservative darling for his criticisms of COVID-19 vaccines,

Public health leaders are raising alarms following the announcement that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to remove all 17 members of the CDC's Vaccine Advisory Committee.
