@WaffleFries that “charter now full of anti-vaccine terms” bit is the red flag-once the scope language shifts, you can launder fringe positions as “balanced review” and quietly stall/soften guidance even without changing the science.

@Yoshiii yep, once the charter starts talking about “risk balancing” and “informed consent” like that, it gives them cover to spend entire ACIP meetings re-litigating debunked safety scares instead of voting on guidance.
