The Advance reports:
Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, ousted the 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) earlier this week in a stunning move that shocked medical experts. He defended his action in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, claiming that “97% of the people on the committee had conflicts of interest.”
He repeated falsehoods about vaccines that were immediately fact checked by doctors on social media platform X. He falsely claimed there were between 69 and 92 mandatory vaccines in the U.S. today and that most of the vaccines, excluding the COVID-19 vaccine, had not gone through safety tests.
“So nobody has any idea what the risk profiles are on these products, and we don’t know whether they have anything to do with the epidemic of chronic disease,” Kennedy said, presenting no evidence for his claims.

Absolutely insane for the head of HHS to tell Americans that none of the vaccines their kids are getting have gone through safety tests – when all of them have been safety-tested. https://t.co/dOTf0SKxIw

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn’t stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I’ve reviewed the trials. I’ve catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵 https://t.co/la6VmJk4Ww

❌CLAIM 1: “97% of people on [ACIP] had conflicts of interest”
✅REALITY: Only 41% received any industry payments, mostly under $55k over 6 years
This is flatly false. Reuters reviewed all 17 voting members of the outgoing ACIP panel:
6 received $80 or less TOTAL over 6 years…— Jake Scott, MD (@jakescottMD) June 13, 2025
❌ CLAIM 2: “We’ve gone from 11 vaccines in 1986 to 69-92 vaccines today”
✅ REALITY: About 48-51 shots today (including annual flu). The “92” comes from creative accounting.
The 1986 schedule:
DTP x5OPV (oral polio) x4
MMR x1 = 10 injections + 4 oral doses
Today’s routine…— Jake Scott, MD (@jakescottMD) June 13, 2025
❌ CLAIM 3: “The only vaccine that has gone through placebo-controlled trials was the Covid vaccine”
✅ REALITY: One of the most misleading claims I’ve ever seen a government official make on national television. EVERY childhood vaccine has been tested in placebo-controlled…— Jake Scott, MD (@jakescottMD) June 13, 2025
❌ CLAIM 4: “Nobody has any idea what the risk profiles are”
✅ REALITY: We absolutely DO know the safety profiles.Here’s how:
Of the 274 RCTs in our dataset:
253 reported safety outcomes (>90%)Only 21 labeled “not reported” (mostly older trials)
But trials are just the…— Jake Scott, MD (@jakescottMD) June 13, 2025
❌ CLAIM 5: “Vaccines deregulate the immune system”
✅ REALITY: This isn’t science; it’s a scary-sounding buzzword.Vaccines don’t “deregulate” anything. They educate the immune system through targeted antigen exposure so it can defend against real pathogens later.
