“The seven new members of the panel include a cardiologist, a neurologist and a geneticist who have been critical of vaccines or mandates. The views of the new members on childhood vaccines generally are not yet known.
The news was first reported by Dr. Jeremy Faust, an emergency medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, in his Substack, ‘Inside Medicine.’”
