The anti-vaccine organization founded by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now funding a lawsuit against him, arguing Kennedy has failed to establish a task force on the safety of childhood vaccines.
“Our first priority will ALWAYS be children’s health. Sec. Kennedy has FAILED ‘to establish a task force dedicated to making childhood vaccines safer, as mandated by federal law,’ so we WILL be holding him accountable,” Children’s Health Defense (CHD) posted on social platform X.
The lawsuit claims Kennedy is violating the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which requires the HHS secretary to stand up a task force consisting of the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The law also requires the health secretary to provide Congress with progress reports every two years. CHD contends that the steps taken to make vaccines safer has never been reported to lawmakers.
Kennedy and his allies have been interested in the panel for years, arguing that its absence shows the government has not taken appropriate steps to ensure vaccines are safe for children.
