A member of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel claimed the panel was disbanded after a federal judge blocked its anti-vaccine members, but later retracted it as a possibility. The panel, appointed by RFK Jr., has faced criticism for rolling back evidence-based guidance, leading to legal challenges from medical groups.
