Kennedy Jr. advised parents of newborns to \u201cdo your own research\u201d before vaccinating their infants during a televised interview in which he also suggested the measles shot was unsafe and repeatedly made false statements that cast doubt on the benefits of vaccination and the independence of the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy made the remarks to the talk show host Dr. Phil <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZofNzZ8UoPk\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in an interview<\/a> that aired Monday on MeritTV to mark the 100th day of the Trump administration. He said, as he has in the past, that \u201cif you want to avoid spreading measles, the best thing you can do is take that vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Kennedy also made clear, as he has in the past, that he believes it is up to individuals to decide. In suggesting vaccines are unsafe, he contradicted decades of advice from public health experts, including leaders of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI would say that we live in a democracy, and part of the responsibility of being a parent is to do your own research,\u201d the health secretary said, in response to a question from a woman in the audience who asked how he would advise a new parent about vaccine safety. \u201cYou research the baby stroller, you research the foods that they\u2019re getting, and you need to research the medicines that they\u2019re taking as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The phrase \u201cI did my own research\u201d became a cultural and political touchstone during the coronavirus pandemic, when proponents of vaccination, mostly on the political left, used it to denigrate those who had chosen not to get vaccinated. It became an internet meme and popped up on <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/353789732992\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">mock tombstones<\/a> in Halloween-themed graveyards in liberal neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s comments came amid the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/22\/health\/measles-southwest-outbreak.html\" title=\"\">largest measles outbreak<\/a> in about 25 years in the United States, which has included the deaths of two young children and an adult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Paul Offit, a pediatrician and vaccine expert at Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia who has often been at odds with Mr. Kennedy, said that it was \u201cperfectly reasonable to be skeptical of vaccines,\u201d but that parents who wanted to do their own research must be careful about their sources of information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhat doing your own research should mean is that you should talk to, or at least look at online, people who have an expertise in the field, which doesn\u2019t mean looking in chat rooms or just on social media blog posts,\u201d Dr. Offit said. He added that while there is good information available, \u201cthere\u2019s also a lot of really bad sources of information that will miseducate you about your choice. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a perfect example of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another vaccine expert, Dr. Peter Hotez of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, said Mr. Kennedy was being disingenuous. \u201cHe says that \u2014 doing your own research \u2014 knowing full well that when a parent does their own research, they are now mostly downloading an onslaught of disinformation \u2014 a lot of it from the health and wellness, nutritional supplement influencer industry trying to peddle alternatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy also suggested, without evidence, that measles shots cause a variety of ailments. \u201cDoes it stop measles?\u201d he asked. \u201cYeah, but does it also do something else, cause you seizures or cause neurological or autoimmune disease? We don\u2019t know. Nobody can answer that question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In fact, studies have shown that, with rare exceptions, people who are vaccinated are <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8402446\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">less likely<\/a> than those who suffer infections to develop autoimmune diseases, which has led researchers to conclude that vaccines \u201chave not only the potential to protect the patient from infectious diseases, but also from its complications, including autoimmune manifestations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy\u2019s other statements in the interview were also rife with inaccuracies. \u201cNew drugs are approved by outside panels, not by the F.D.A. or the C.D.C.,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That is false. Outside panels of experts do advise the F.D.A. on controversial or high-profile drug approval decisions, and some panel members have ties to industry that are publicly disclosed before the meetings begin. But the F.D.A. alone has authority to approve or reject new drugs, vaccines and other therapies. The C.D.C. has no role in drug approvals whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMr. Kennedy needs a briefing on drug development and F.D.A. decisions about marketing,\u201d said Dr. Robert Califf, the agency\u2019s commissioner under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. \u201cHe is either ignorant on the topic or intentionally misleading the public. Outside panels are advisory. F.D.A. makes the decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Kennedy also insisted, inaccurately, that vaccines are not evaluated for safety either before or after they are licensed. \u201cThere\u2019s no safety studies at the outset, there\u2019s no surveillance system afterward,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cVaccines are the only medicine or medical product that is exempt from pre-licensing safety testing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In fact, the Food and Drug Administration licenses vaccines after a yearslong process that begins with extensive testing in the lab and in animals and progresses to trials in humans. The F.D.A. requires careful studies of vaccine safety and effectiveness, often with thousands of people in large trials, said Dr. Peter Marks, the agency\u2019s vaccine division chief who was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/28\/health\/fda-vaccines-rfk-jr-peter-marks.html\" title=\"\">recently forced to resign from his position<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t know where this misunderstanding is coming from,\u201d said Dr. Marks, who has been critical of Mr. Kennedy. \u201cVaccines are required to be extensively studied for safety. By definition, we\u2019re giving these products to healthy people. So safety is paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After vaccines are licensed, they are monitored via an alphabet soup of databases. The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccine-safety-systems\/vsd\/index.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vaccine Safety Data Link<\/a> system has relied on electronic health records from medical centers across the country. It has been responsible for detecting unusual side effects, including <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/2784017\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">rare cases of myocarditis<\/a>, or inflammation of the heart muscle, among young men who took Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another system, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/vaers.hhs.gov\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System<\/a>, developed in 1990 as a \u201cnational early warning system,\u201d relies on reports from patients and providers. Although many vaccine critics, including Mr. Kennedy, have cited VAERS data to argue that vaccines are dangerous, the system was not designed to determine if vaccines cause health problems. It was designed to pick up hints that can be investigated further in other types of data systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The F.D.A. has an additional safety monitoring program called <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/vaccines-blood-biologics\/safety-availability-biologics\/cber-biologics-effectiveness-and-safety-best-system\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BEST,<\/a> or the Biologics Effectiveness and Safety Initiative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Sean O\u2019Leary, the chairman of the committee on infectious diseases for the American Academy of Pediatrics, said it was wrong to claim that federal officials did not keep an eye on vaccine safety. \u201cI don\u2019t know where this is coming from,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause none of it is true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He added: \u201cWe are aware of many rare adverse events. If it becomes clear that the risks are even close to outweighing the benefits, the vaccine gets pulled from the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/29\/us\/politics\/kennedy-vaccines-research.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Secretary Robert F.
