~ In a joint statement released today, Governors Gavin Newsom of California, Tina Kotek of Oregon, and Bob Ferguson of Washington condemned the recent dismissal of all members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The move has been deemed as politically motivated and a threat to public health.
The ACIP is responsible for developing recommendations on the use of vaccines and has been a trusted source for the nation's immunization guidelines for 60 years. The members of ACIP are experts and physicians with extensive knowledge in immunization, carefully screened for conflicts of interest, and selected through a rigorous process. The sudden removal of all current members just three weeks before their next meeting is deeply concerning for the health of the nation.
Governor Newsom expressed his concerns about the integrity and transparency of upcoming federal vaccine recommendations, stating that their states rely on the best available science to protect public health. He also emphasized their commitment to collaborating with medical experts, professional organizations, and public health partners to ensure that science prevails in preventing any loss of life.

The Departments of Public Health in California, Oregon, and Washington continue to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for all individuals aged 6 months and older, with a focus on protecting high-risk individuals such as infants, pregnant individuals, and those with underlying health conditions. They also align with leading medical associations in the United States in recommending vaccinations per the CDC's published schedules.
In response to President Trump's recent decision to federalize National Guard soldiers and send in Marines to Southern California, veterans have spoken out against this unnecessary escalation. Janessa Goldbeck, a veteran herself, stated that this action only adds fuel to an already tense situation.
Meanwhile, Governor Newsom has launched a new CAL FIRE recruitment drive at JoinCALFIRE.com as President Trump's illegal military deployment has impacted firefighting resources, which have already seen cuts by the U.S. Forest Service. This move aims to bolster the state's firefighting capabilities and ensure the safety of its residents.

The three governors have also formed the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup to assist during the pandemic and continue to work together to ensure that their recommendations reflect the best available science and protect the health of their residents.
In a separate development, Governor Newsom announced that California is suing the Trump administration over its approval of illegal resolutions aimed at undoing key parts of the state's clean vehicles program. This move is seen as another assault on California by the Trump administration and a threat to its efforts in combating climate change.
As tensions continue to rise in California, it is clear that these three states are standing united in their commitment to following science-based recommendations and protecting public health.
