HHS Updates Vaccine Panel Requirements After Judge's Decision
Summary: The U.S. has a special group of experts that helps decide how vaccines are used, especially for kids. Recently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the head of the health department, replaced all the experts on this panel. A judge stopped this, saying the new members were "distinctly unqualified" and included people who doubt vaccines. In response, the health department changed the rules so people with different backgrounds, like math or poison experts, can now join the group. They claim this is just a normal update. The government has 60 days to fight the judge's decision.
