RFK Jr. demands journal explain removal of vaccine study used to support his childhood immunization changes
Kennedy says the journal should explain the removal and detail the review after a 2021 paper was cited in support of vaccine schedule changes.
- On June 11, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demanded that Toxicology Reports Editor-in-Chief Lawrence H. Lash explain the removal of a 2021 study regarding vaccines and sudden infant death.
- Elsevier removed the article by Neil Z. Miller, stating the conclusions were "not supported by the methodology employed" due to inherent limitations of passive reporting systems like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System .
- Describing himself as a "medical research journalist," Miller claimed his findings were "statistically significant," though the paper acknowledged the research "does not prove an association" between infant vaccines and sudden infant deaths.
- Requesting detailed answers by June 25, Kennedy asked Lash for the names of consulted experts and the specific criteria used to discredit the study, citing his commitment to research integrity.
- The study was previously cited by Aaron Siri to support altering childhood immunization schedules, a move currently blocked by a federal judge, adding context to the ongoing debate over vaccine data.
