Top medical group presses RFK Jr. to keep health screening panel

A top U.S. health lobbying group is calling on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to not dismiss a preventive care task force following a report he’s planning to remove all of its members in the same way he ousted an entire vaccine advisory board earlier this year.

The American Medical Association (AMA) wrote to Kennedy on Sunday to express its “deep concern” over reporting that Kennedy is planning to dismiss all members of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

“USPSTF members have been selected through an open, public nomination process and are nationally recognized experts in primary care, prevention and evidence-based medicine. They serve on a volunteer basis, dedicating their time to help reduce disease and improve the health of all Americans—a mission well-aligned with the Make America Healthy Again initiative,” the AMA wrote in a letter to Kennedy.

The Wall Street Journal reported late last week that Kennedy was planning to dismiss the entire 16-member panel for being too “woke” in his eyes, citing people familiar with the decision. The report comes after Kennedy in June dismissed the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, replacing the members with some known spreaders of vaccine misinformation.

I thought Brain Worm was all for preventative medicine. Or is that just limited to cod liver oil, Ivermectin and UV enemas?
