RFK Jr pressures medical journal over retracted vaccine study

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sent a letter demanding answers from a medical journal that removed a paper claiming a link between vaccines and infant death, a move public health advocates say amounts to an attempt to intimidate the editorial process. The journal pulled the paper after determining it was flawed, but Kennedy's intervention signals the administration's continued willingness to use government authority to challenge mainstream vaccine science. Public health groups have condemned the letter as an unprecedented and dangerous politicization of peer review.
