Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has suddenly postponed a meeting of the US Precious Service Task Force, which is originally scheduled on Thursday, according to an email sent to the members of the public, who planned to participate.
The email stated, “The secretary’s immediate office is postponing the July USPSTF meeting. Moving forward, HHS is ready to join with the task force to promote the health and welfare of the American people,” the email.
A HHS spokesperson confirmed the cancellation, but did not give an argument.
The cancellation falls on the heels of one Supreme Court’s decision Last month, when Kennedy gave the task force members the power to hire and fire, and to review the recommendations issued by him and potentially delay or veto – something that the former administration has never done.
The task force is made up of medical experts who serve four years of terms on the basis of volunteers. They are appointed by the HHS Secretary and are considered preserved by political influence. The Congress prepared the task force “independent and practically, not subject to political pressure.”
Members of the task force meet three times a year in March, July and November.

The sudden cancellation of the meeting played an alarm among public health experts, who are afraid that Kennedy may pay attention to the composition of the task force or set fire to their members, such as they had done with a vaccine advisory panel last month.
A Nonpartison Group Academyh belt representing health researchers on Wednesday sent a letter to the health leaders of the Congress, urging them to protect the integrity of the USPSTF “intentionally or unintentionally political intervention.”
The group wrote, “The harm of the task force’s rigid and reliable work will destroy patients, hospital systems and payers as misinformation arises in the form of misinformation and obstacles to reach out to lifestyle and cost -effective care,” the group wrote.
