The Trump administration says a commitment to evidence-based medicine is what drove the decision to replace members of the nation’s vaccine advisory group. That’s according to the head of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who ousted the previous members last week. Dr. Allison Kempe, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, served on the committee from 2013 to 2018. She talked with Colorado Matters about why she's concerned about the overhaul and what it could mean for the future of vaccines in the US.
