"The last straw"—RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine ally angrily quits CDC panel after spat

An anti-vaccine ally of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. angrily resigned from a CDC advisory panel, calling it "the last straw" after a heated dispute. The official cited a 7-2 committee vote that approved updated mRNA booster guidelines, a decision they claimed ignored safety data. Compared to #5's institutional breakdowns, this resignation is a symptom of deeper fractures: the panel’s meeting saw 14 public comments, with 11 opposing the new guidelines. The data point—a 78% disapproval rate in public feedback—underscores how polarized vaccine policy has become, even among experts.
