No one. And that tells us this isn’t about “gold standard science” or anything else. Mr. Kennedy just wanted to remove a major source of vaccination in the world. He had the power, so he used it.

Is the Extensive US Vaccine Schedule Harmful? by Peter C. Gøtzsche at Brownstone Institute The US childhood vaccination programme is huge, 68 vaccine doses targeting 18 different diseases versus only 17 vaccine doses for 10 diseases in Denmark.1 It is unknown if the net effect of so many vaccinations is beneficial, and in August 2025, two physicians launched a federal lawsuit2 against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for failing to study the cumulative effects of its ch...| Brownstone Institute
Clinical Trials Did Not Show Covid Shots Were “Safe and Effective” by Lori Weintz at Brownstone Institute I was a bit familiar, not very deeply, with this mRNA class in my professional work, when these products were in development for other things—severe conditions such as cancer.
