US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Monday he was dismissing a critical vaccine advisory committee, accusing its members of conflicts of interest in his latest move targeting the nation’s immunization policies.

“Today we are prioritizing the restoration of public trust above any specific pro- or anti-vaccine agenda,” Kennedy said in a statement. “The public must know that unbiased science — evaluated through a transparent process and insulated from conflicts of interest — guides the recommendations of our health agencies.”
