The United States — Food and Drug Administration has launched a broad investigation into deaths potentially linked to COVID-19 vaccines. This probe follows Donald Trump's appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known vaccine skeptic, as health secretary, which has led to a significant overhaul of vaccine policy in the United States. The review, initially focused on child deaths, expanded after a leaked internal document claimed a link between vaccines and infant deaths without evidence. Medical experts have expressed concern over the United States — Food and Drug Administration's direction under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership, citing his history of spreading misinformation. Andrew Nixon, a spokesperson for the health and human services department, confirmed the investigation but declined to provide details on its methods or timeline. The efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines have been widely studied and documented globally, with health authorities affirming their benefits despite rare severe side effects.
