US EditionKennedy Sharpens Vaccine Attacks, without Scientific Backing
Kennedy claims aluminum vaccine adjuvants cause neurotoxicity and allergies, but studies of over 1.2 million children show no increased risk, and experts affirm their safety and necessity.
- As the federal government prepares for the next ACIP meeting, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intensified attacks on aluminum vaccine adjuvants, citing the CDC webpage update Nov. 19 that studies have not definitively ruled out a vaccine‑autism link.
- A history of public activism and recent steps by Kennedy, a vaccine critic and activist, have prompted the review, including denouncing a Danish study and demanding its retraction.

- Public-Health officials note programmatic risks tied to changing adjuvant use, as removing aluminum adjuvants would require reformulating core childhood vaccines and repeating large trials, risking years-long production gaps while diseases spread.
- Paul Offit explained everyday exposure to aluminum and vaccine quantities, noting people naturally ingest about 400 milligrams over 18 years while vaccines add about 8 milligrams as aluminum salts that dissolve safely.

The influence of anti-vaccines in the various health agencies in the United States has just taken a new step: reversing decades of evidence, the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) website suddenly changed its vaccine web page on November 19 to say that a link between vaccine and autism "cannot be ruled out".
