The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ (ACIP) meetings used to be a geek’s dream: hours of long, maybe dreary presentation of extensive data followed by lengthy discussions that drilled into details of vaccine safety, effectiveness, and the best way to balance protecting people and risks and costs.
Not health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ACIP. The two-day meeting on Thursday and Friday was certainly lively, and if this were a TV show, it would be much more interesting than usual ACIP meetings, even funny at times.
