I think that this is far more parsimoniously explained by the existing mechanisms working as intended. This decision was made by the JVCI, which was established (according to Wikipedia) in 1963, and having existed for some time before that as a polio advisory board. So there’s a well-established group of experts who have been looking at immunisation schedules for all sorts of diseases for decades.
I’ve been thinking about the Cummings testimony for a while, considering whether to draw attention to it. I’ve been (unwisely) seeing all recent UK Gov. activity through that lens.
There are already posts pointing to it on LessWrong. Listing to a 7 hour testimony is however a lot of effort. Having a post that summarizes the most important parts would be valuable.

Ah, thank you. I was unaware.
