Cops raid office of RFK Jr. allies planning “unethical” vaccine trial on babies
摘要
几内亚比绍警方突查丹麦研究人员的办公室，没收了原用于新生儿乙肝疫苗试验的疫苗剂量。该试验被国际卫生专家称为“不道德”，但反疫苗的卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪试图用美国纳税人资金资助。在肯尼迪推动下，美国疾控中心于12月宣布向由Peter Aaby和Christine Stabell Benn领导的丹麦研究人员提供160万美元无偿拨款。二人是有争议的疫苗研究者
Police in Guinea-Bissau raided the offices of Danish researchers on Monday, seizing doses of hepatitis B vaccine intended for a vaccine trial for newborns. International health experts have called the trial "unethical," but anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has attempted to fund it with US taxpayer dollars.
Under Kennedy, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced in December that it had awarded the Danish researchers—led by married couple Peter Aaby and Christine Stabell Benn of Bandim Health Project—an unsolicited $1.6 million grant to run the trial. Aaby and Stabell Benn are controversial vaccine researchers who claim vaccines cause overlooked harms. They have been repeatedly praised by Kennedy, but are currently under investigation for alleged scientific misconduct by Danish authorities.
Plans for the trial were halted in January as widespread condemnation erupted over the trial's design, which would potentially expose thousands of newborns in the country to hepatitis B, risking a lifelong infection that can lead to liver cirrhosis, cancer, and premature death. Outrage flared again after a Rolling Stone story earlier this month claimed the CDC set aside another $1.6 million in funding in late September and planned to move forward with the trial.
