Kennedy, Health and Human Services Secretary, plans to present child deaths linked to vaccines, sparking debate and market concerns.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services Secretary, plans to present 25 child deaths allegedly linked to COVID-19 vaccines to a CDC panel. Critics argue the data from VAERS is unreliable. Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance has caused concern about potential impacts on vaccine production and policy, as he aims to "fix" the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, which protects vaccine manufacturers. Financial markets reacted negatively to these developments.
