Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. proposed requiring placebo-controlled studies for all new vaccines, a move met with surprise as experts highlighted that such testing is already standard practice. Andrew Nixon from the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed that all new vaccines undergo safety testing in these trials. Additionally, Kennedy announced initiatives to accelerate new vaccine development, using methods beyond the current mRNA technology, amid ongoing scrutiny of existing Covid vaccines. This suggests a significant intervention in vaccine oversight reflecting Kennedy's history as a critic of immunization standards.
