US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday dismissed an expert panel of vaccine advisers that has historically guided the federal government’s vaccine recommendations, saying the group is “plagued with conflicts of interest.”

The entirety of the 17-member Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which advises the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the vaccine schedule and required coverage of immunizations, will be retired and replaced with new members, Kennedy announced in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. The HHS secretary has authority to appoint and dismiss ACIP members, who typically serve four-year cycles. But removing the entire panel prematurely is unprecedented. . .

I'm keeping a printed copy of accounts, passwords, phone numbers, etc just in case now. If I lose it again I will have most of what I need, I have yet to recreate my old bookmarks ... my old Amazon Kindle Silk browser does not allow a method of exporting them.

In the meantime Amazon disabled my Brave browser with the excuse that the developers were notified that Kindle has a new software revision and the folks at Brave have not yet released a new compliant version of Brave yet. So I'm back on the crappy silk browser again. Funny my other apps still work after the new software revision. I have the impression Amazon doesn't want me to use Brave.

I had started to do that and had a Joe moment on Poal's password.

Luckily, AOU gave me good advice and I thanked him.

Your addition of the extra info is a great suggestion. I don't do much online, banking, bill paying, etc., but a master list of what I do have and use, should be at my fingertips.
