Archer also asked to know what adjuvants & platforms are being used for all the #vaccines discussed at the #ACIP meeting, & their length of immunity.

#RFKJr is currently reviewing the latest ACIP recommendations in the absence of a #CDC director, & it is unclear whether the #HHS secretary will ultimately sign off on them.

Dr. William “Reyn” Archer III joined #HHS, which oversees #CDC, as a counselor in the secy's office after #RFKJr took over in Feb, records show. A critic of #vaccines on social media for the past several yrs, Archer served as TX state #health commissioner in the late 1990s.

…His role reviewing the Advisory Cmte on #Immunization Practices’ recommendations is the latest indication of how RFKJr, who has spent decades raising doubts about the safety & efficacy of vaccines, is reshaping US #policy.

The advisory panel to the #CDC had made recommendations regarding the use of separate shots approved to help protect against #RSV, #meningitis & #chikungunya. The CDC is not required to adopt their recommendations, but when it does, they become guidelines for #medical practitioners to follow.

In the states, #FGA has become known as a #conservative "thought leader," said Brian Colby, VP of #PublicPolicy for Missouri Budget Project, a #progressive nonprofit that provides analysis of #state #policy issues.

"Conservatives used to try to chop away at the #federal #budget," Colby said. "These guys are doing it at the state level."

In its 14 yrs, FGA has created a playbook to shape state policy discussions about #PublicBenefits behind the scenes.

#RFKJr's agenda now echoes some of #FGA's key messages, & he has said states can expect approval of their waivers. Meanwhile, congressional leaders are eyeing nationwide #Medicaid cuts & #work requirements, which FGA considers among its major issues. The foundation also has a connection working inside the administration: Its former #policy director, Sam Adolphsen, was tapped to advise #Trump on #domestic matters.

"Clint Eastwood’s 1979 classic Escape From Alcatraz was shown on a South Florida PBS station the night before. (Trump was at Mar-a-Lago for most of the weekend.)... Local outlet WLRN had it on at 11 a.m. ET the following morning. Shortly thereafter, the president posted an emphatic announcement."
