An attorney representing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. refutes a New York Times article alleging that RFK Jr. sought to revoke the FDA's approval of the polio vaccine. Siri clarifies that the petition, filed on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network, aimed to ensure the safety of a specific polio vaccine (IPOL) by requesting additional trials before its administration to children.
An attorney advising Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is criticizing a New York Times report last week that claimed the Trump HHS secretary nominee sought to revoke the Food and Drug Administration's ( FDA ) approval for the polio vaccine. 'Contrary to hysterical media reports that the petition sought to make sure no polio vaccines would be available, the scope of the petition was quite narrow,' Aaron Siri, a close RFK Jr. adviser and partner at Siri & Glimstad LLP, told Fox News Digital.
'It simply asked the FDA to require a proper trial for licensure for children of a novel polio vaccine.' The New York Times reported Friday that Siri is 'waging a war' against all vaccines, but Siri said the report 'falsely claimed the petition sought to eliminate' the polio vaccine, 'as if there is only one, and that our client sought to leave Americans without the choice to get vaccinated for polio.' 'In reality, the petition sought to ensure the safety of one of the six existing licensed polio vaccines that we inject into our children three times before their first birthday,' he said. The report came just days before RFK Jr. headed to Capitol Hill this week to meet with Senators, seeking support for his HHS confirmation. The petition, filed in 2022 on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) and not as an individual action by Siri, urged the FDA to suspend the polio vaccine IPOL for infants and children. ICAN's request stems from concerns that IPOL, licensed in 1990 by Sanofi, was approved based on pediatric trials that, according to the FDA, evaluated safety for only three days after injection. This is not the traditional polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk or Albert Sabin that many people are familiar with, Siri added
