RFK Jr.'s firing of U.S. immunization committee worrisome, Canadian scientists say
TORONTO – Canadian doctors and scientists say Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s firing of an immunization advisory committee south of the border is worrisome. On Monday, the U.S. health and human services secretary — a longtime anti-vaccine advocate — said he will appoint new members to the scientific group that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about vaccination. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, said Tuesday that the move will foster more false anti-vaccine beliefs, not only in the U.S. but also in Canada. 'It creates a culture in which anti-vaxx beliefs are more accepted and challenged a lot less. And also it creates an environment where there's an alternative to an evidence-based recommendation framework,' she said. Even though Kennedy's new appointments will make vaccine recommendations specific to the United States, any disinformation could also feed vaccine hesitancy among Canadians, Rasmussen said. 'We have a lot of the same anti-vaxx sentiment up here. Certainly this will at the very least empower (that),' she said. Rasmussen said current measles outbreaks in both countries show the consequences of disinformation that leads to parents not immunizing their children against preventable diseases. She said Canada could also experience some fallout if the new committee pulls back vaccination recommendations, because manufacturers may cut back on production and that could lead to shortages. 'There's a lot of potential for really, really damaging vaccine access throughout the U.S. and potentially around the world because the U.S. market has a big impact on what vaccine manufacturers are actually going to make and manufacture,' she said. 'There's so many ways that this can end up really badly for vaccination in general. And it really causes me a lot of concern.' Rasmussen said the firing of the advisory committee members is just the latest in a series of anti-public health actions Kennedy has taken. 'It's a death by a thousand cuts,' said Rasmussen, who is American and moved to Canada during the pandemic to work at the University of Saskatchewan's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has already cut billions of dollars in research grants at the National Institutes of Health. In May, the administration cancelled a contract with mRNA vaccine manufacturer Moderna to develop a vaccine against potential pandemic influenza viruses, including H5N1 avian flu. 'It just seems that there is a top-down approach that views mRNA vaccines in particular — vaccination in general, but mRNA vaccines in particular — with distrust and is trying to dismantle that particular avenue of medical research,' said Dr. Jesse Papenburg, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at Montreal Children's Hospital. Papenburg, who is a member of Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization but was not speaking on its behalf, said although the Moderna contract cancellation and the firing of the U.S. vaccine advisory committee members are two separate actions, they're both concerning as Canada tries to prepare for potential human-to-human transmission of H5N1. 'Both are potentially very dangerous when it comes to America's and the world's ability to respond to emerging infectious diseases for which vaccines could be a useful medical countermeasure,' he said. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2025.

The partnership marks Rocky Health's third collaboration with a national sports organization, reinforcing its growing influence in the sports industry and its commitment to supporting men's health TORONTO, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Rocky Health, Canada's modern digital men's health and wellness platform, is thrilled to announce a new multi-year partnership with the Toronto Argonauts, bringing the conversation around men's health to centre field. In partnership with the most legendary franchise in Canadian football, Rocky Health is showcasing its commitment to redefining how men take ownership of their health. To connect with Canadian men and challenge outdated health stigmas, Rocky Health is showing up where they are, within major sports leagues and at the heart of the game. This latest announcement builds on a series of recent partnerships with leading Canadian sports organizations, as Rocky Health continues to strengthen its presence across the sports industry and meet men where they already are. "At Rocky Health, we're committed to partnering with organizations with like-minded values, especially when it comes to prioritizing health and the importance of showing up for the people who matter most. We believe taking care of your health means taking care of those around you too," says Aba Anton, Co-Founder & CEO of Rocky Health. "Our partnership with the Toronto Argonauts is about using the power of sport to meet men where they are and redefine what strength truly means, not just in physical performance, but in showing up for yourself and those around you. It's about being proactive, having the courage to talk about what matters, and recognizing the role that family, teammates, and friends play in supporting one another on and off the field." Rocky Health will be front and centre all season long, starting with the jersey patch worn by the defending Grey Cup champions. The partnership includes a goal post wrap, digital signage throughout the grandstands, virtual field placements, and displays in and around BMO Field. On game days, Rocky Health will also be featured on the Argos' social media channels, with integration of organic team content.

"We look forward to the impact of this partnership with Rocky Health being felt with the team's fans and in the community for years to come." Through this partnership, Rocky Health is tackling the everyday barriers that often prevent men from seeking care, from long wait times and disconnected services to the outdated belief that asking for help is a sign of weakness. The Rocky Health platform brings clinical care, pharmacy support, and wellness tools together in one seamless digital experience–designed to meet men where they are, no clinic or pharmacy waiting rooms required. The partnership has been met with enthusiasm by both organizations, highlighting a shared commitment to driving meaningful change in the conversation around men's health.

"Our team is built on brotherhood, resilience, and showing up for one another, which are all values that align with Rocky Health's vision for better men's health. Together, we're encouraging our fans–fathers, sons, brothers, and teammates–to take that crucial first step toward care, conversation, and lasting change." As the Official Men's Health Provider of the Toronto Argonauts and the team's jersey patch partner, Rocky Health is proud to be a key partner of the team, bringing modern, stigma-free care to fans across the country. With on-field visibility at this season's home opener on June 14 th and activations planned throughout the year, Rocky Health and the Toronto Argonauts unite in their commitment to champion men's health, whether in the stands, in the locker room, or watching the game at home.
