US medical journal rejects call from RFK Jr to retract vaccine study

The US medical journal, Pediatrics, has rejected a call from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, to retract a large Danish study. The study found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children. Kennedy, who has long promoted doubts about vaccines' safety and efficacy, has been considering whether to initiate a review of shots that contain aluminum, which he claims are linked to autoimmune diseases and allergies. However, the journal's editor has stated that they will not retract the study, which is widely regarded as a reliable and authoritative source on the safety of aluminum in vaccines. The article highlights the ongoing debate around vaccine safety and the influence of individuals like Kennedy, who hold positions of power within the government, in shaping public perception and policy on this issue.
