A coalition of top U.S. medical groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, sued Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday, according to Benzinga. The lawsuit alleges that Kennedy undermined science and public health by unilaterally rescinding COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant individuals. Filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, the lawsuit claims Kennedy dismissed CDC immunization advisers and replaced them with anti-vaccine voices, putting vulnerable populations at risk. Plaintiffs seek to reverse Kennedy’s actions and declare them unlawful, citing blocked communications, canceled advisory meetings, and an effort to dismantle long-standing vaccine infrastructure.
