Kennedy Launches New Vaccine Safety Review Initiative

Original: Health Secretary Kennedy touts an initiative to study vaccine safety

US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a new initiative aimed at studying vaccine safety, according to NPR. The move puts Kennedy, a longtime critic of vaccination policy who now leads the Department of Health and Human Services, at the centre of a fresh debate over how federal agencies assess immunisation risks, with critics warning it could fuel vaccine hesitancy.

Why now: Kennedy's long history of vaccine scepticism makes the initiative controversial and raises concerns about US public health policy.
