HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. firing every member of panel that makes vaccine recommendations
SUMMARY: Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has dismissed all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices just before their planned vote on new COVID-19 and other vaccine recommendations. Kennedy criticized the panel for conflicts of interest and accused it of rubber-stamping vaccine approvals. Medical experts and organizations like the American Medical Association and American Academy of Pediatrics condemned the move, warning it threatens public trust and independent medical expertise. Concerns have also been raised that Kennedy may censor data presented to the panel, escalating fears of politicizing vaccine policy amid ongoing public health challenges.
Naomi Ruchim reports on what this means for the vaccine process moving forward.

President Trump pressures Putin to end war in Ukraine
SUMMARY: President Trump is urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine, setting a tentative 10 to 12-day deadline for progress, though Putin remains unyielding.

President Trump is also pressing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, amid conflicting reports about starvation conditions. Meanwhile, the administration is finalizing a trade deal with China, with recent talks in Stockholm involving U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
