The American Academy of Pediatrics, alongside five medical organizations, is suing the Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary Robert Kennedy. The lawsuit claims that Kennedy's unilateral changes to Covid-19 vaccine recommendations for pediatric and pregnant patients disregarded scientific evidence and federal protocols. It accuses Kennedy of misleading the public and replacing key advisory committee members with anti-vaccine practitioners. The American Academy of Pediatrics emphasizes that these actions threaten the health protections for families and children. The lawsuit seeks legal injunctions against these changes to recommendations.
The lawsuit alleges actions taken by Kennedy were calculated to mislead the public and gradually desensitize the country to anti-science rhetoric.
The AAP believes this move undermines the foundation of how families and children's health is protected.
