The Department of Health and Human Services provided a controversial document to support Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s drastic change in U.S. COVID vaccine policy regarding children and pregnant women, citing disputed and unpublished studies. Critics, including medical experts, condemned the document as "willful medical disinformation". Kennedy's announcement not only sparked outrage among pediatricians but also raised concerns about the validity of information Congress members were given. Despite this, HHS defended the document's accuracy, acknowledging it raises important safety concerns regarding vaccine recommendations.
"It is so far out of left field that I find it insulting to our members of Congress that they would actually give them something like this."
"Congress members are relying on these agencies to provide them with valid information, and it's just not there," said Dr. Mark Turrentine.
"There is no distortion of the studies in this document. The underlying data speaks for itself, and it raises legitimate safety concerns."
"The document…cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others."
