CDC reportedly poised to fund controversial baby vaccine trial

Original: Outrage grows as CDC reportedly poised to fund "unethical" vaccine trial

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pushing the CDC to fund a vaccine trial that would deliberately expose babies to a deadly virus, a plan scientists are calling unethical. The reported move has sparked growing outrage, with critics arguing that infecting infants with a dangerous pathogen crosses a clear ethical line in human challenge trial research, even if it could speed vaccine development.

Why now: Reports that federal health agencies may fund a trial exposing infants to a deadly virus have triggered renewed debate over research ethics under the current US health leadership.
