After decades of saving lives, retired Air Force Colonel Dr. Kirk Milhoan was fired from his pediatric cardiology practice after being named chair of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The dismissal followed social media pressure protesting his support of HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. and his questioning of many childhood vaccine policies.
Dr. Milhoan was only reinstated after significant public backlash. His wife, anesthesiologist Dr. Kim Milhoan, wrote “for some powerful segment of the population, there appears to be consensus that some topics or conclusions are off-limits and they can pressure to harm careers and livelihoods of those with the courage and integrity to investigate whether the science is truly settled. The irony is they are trying to destroy the career of someone who was on their side, but willing to re-examine the evidence.”
