RFK Jr. Influences FDA Vaccine Rejection

The United States===Food and Drug Administration initially rejected Moderna's new mRNA flu vaccine paperwork, citing unspecified faults, an action widely attributed to the anti-science and anti-medicine mindset of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This decision, later reversed, sparked criticism for being politically motivated rather than scientifically rigorous. Meanwhile, measles outbreaks are occurring in United States===Florida and United States===South Carolina due to low vaccination rates, prompting calls from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head Mehmet Oz for increased vaccinations. Critics argue that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s skepticism of mRNA vaccines and his influence within the United States===United States Department of Health and Human Services are undermining public health and the availability of life-saving vaccines, potentially leading to preventable deaths.
