"AMA Calls for Senate Investigation of RFK Jr."...
...from the attached article...
-------------------
Just a day after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “retired” all 17 remaining advisors on the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the American Medical Association passed an emergency resolution urging the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions to investigate Kennedy’s actions.
Tuesday’s resolution directed leadership of the American Medical Association (AMA) to request from the Senate HELP Committee an “investigation into the actions of the Secretary regarding his administration” of the CDC, particularly its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). “Vaccines have been proven to dramatically reduce hospitalization and death,” the resolution read, noting that “it is imperative for recommendations to be made without political interference.”
The AMA also called for an “immediate reversal” of Kennedy’s removal of all CDC vaccine advisors. “ACIP is comprised of medical experts from several fields of medicine as well as public members,” the AMA wrote in the emergency resolution, noting that the advisors’ recommendations are evidence-based “and informed by input from stakeholders and subject matter experts.”
The resolution also called for “sustained public advocacy” in support of ACIP and for the AMA to invest in “evidence-based vaccine advisory structures.” “We do not want to be on the wrong side of history,” Jason Goldman, president of the American College of Physicians (ACP) said, as reported by MedPage Today. The ACP was among the authors of the resolution, alongside the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and other national and state-wide medical associations.
The move to replace the entirety of ACIP, according to an official HHS statement on Monday, “is necessary to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science.” The advisory panel “will no longer function as a rubber stamp for industry profit-taking agendas,” the statement continued.
Analysts rang the warning bell in response, with Leerink Partners expecting the new committee members to “likely be sympathetic to at least some of RFK’s beliefs regarding alleged dangers of vaccines.” Kennedy’s statements suggest that the new ACIP “could be more critical of vaccines,” the firm continued in its Monday evening note.
“We view the complete line change at the ACIP as a potential hindrance to the vaccine development space, as we think the new Committee members may have more restrictive recommendations on vaccine uptake and use,” William Blair added in a note Tuesday morning.
Paul Offit, a former ACIP member, told Fierce Pharma Tuesday that in clearing out the committee, Kennedy “is fixing a problem that doesn’t exist.” The Secretary “can point to no specific instance where an ACIP voting member has been unduly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry,” Offit added. “It’s just all innuendo and conspiracy.”

The same AMA who went along with both the Covid and transgender nonsense? RFK doing it right!

You’re right we should have never developed and used that vaccine that your dear leader
fast tracked. It didn’t save lives. You are a nut.
COVID-19 was Nonsense?...you should apply right now for a management position at the new HHS.

Pushing an immuno-suppressant as a vaccine and requiring it of people who already got sick - yeah
that's nonsense. The AMA has become politicized and it's a shame, but they are no longer neutral or trustworthy. Docs are becoming pill pushers.
Do you do all your painting with a spray gun?...denigrating 271,000 physicians in one fell swoop
takes a a lot of gall, along with a sizable amount of stupidity. There are issues in Medicine that the AMA can improve on, but the science behind our mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is top notch...and the Data/Results from literally billions of shots prove their effectiveness and SAFETY. You have nothing like that to substantiate your claims.
Your credibility just took a big hit...and not just with me.
You need to join Checkers embrace of functional medicine.

Their goal and my goal is the same, increase yacht sales.

It's the bellwether of both physical and economic health.

AMA is a lobbying group that seeks to restrict the supply of physicians to benefit of it's members.

In this instance, it would appear that the AMA wants MORE physicians with expertise in Virology and
Infectious Diseases, as opposed to uneducated and untrained medical conspiracy theorists...like RFK Jr. In normal times a wise decision...for the benefit of all Americans.
Functional medicine is the future.

Well, I'm always available if you want to step up and provide a substantive challenge to my posting.
...unlike a few others here, I'll never run away and hide. You're welcome to start now with whatever topic you choose.
I can’t put him on ignore, it’s too entertaining.

Are you actually accusing the AMA of embarrassing itself over this?...even Baron has
expressed reservations about RFK Jr. being head of HHS...should he be embarrassed about posting such concerns?
It's pretty clear that the only one needing to deal with embarrassment is...you.
Damn liberal Doctors think they know more about healthcare than Wormbrain Bob. Smh.
