Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines and pledged to replace them with his own picks.

The 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had been in a state of flux since Kennedy took over. Its first meeting this year had been delayed when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly postponed its February meeting.

    yeah.

    It’s possible to test for antibodies.

    I can’t imagine doing that at immigration, but imposing it as a requirement for a visa is plausible.

    We already do things like ensuring that translations are performed by licensed translators, so you could have vaccination certification performed by doctors that are approved to provide it. Not perfect but probably an adequate measure.
