NEW: Dr. Makary slams CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, saying the old committee had a dismal track record and downplayed myocarditis risk in young males.

When asked about backlash over the CDC’s newly reconstituted [ACIP] vaccine board, Dr. Makary didn’t shy away from why changes were made.

“Well, look, I think over at CDC, a different agency, they do have a reconstituted ACIP committee with a diversity of views among people who do believe that vaccines save lives.”

“The past committee had pushed, for Covid boosters in young, healthy people. And, of course, that is probably why we see such a backlash today.”

“There was never a great evidence for repeat boosters in young, healthy children.”
