Medical journal rejects Kennedy's call for retraction of vaccine study
UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – The Annals of Internal Medicine defended a Danish study of 1.2 million children showing no increased health risks from aluminum vaccines despite Health Secretary Kennedy's retraction demand.
- On Monday, the Annals of Internal Medicine said it will not retract the 2025 study analyzing data from 1.2 million Danish children, as editor-in-chief Dr Christine Laine said `I see no reason for retraction`.
- Earlier this month, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. described the Danish study as `a deceitful propaganda stunt by the pharmaceutical industry` in an op-ed on TrialSite News.
- Anders Peter Hviid, lead author of the study, said he has confidence in the work and noted in response to Kennedy's critiques that only 2% of Danish children are unvaccinated, making a control group unviable.
- Planning a website update, the journal affirmed the study’s validity, and Dr Christine Laine said they will not respond directly to Kennedy's TrialSite News piece.
- Amid recent weeks, Kennedy faces blowback for axing $500 million in mRNA vaccine funding and replacing all 17 CDC advisory members, prompting a review of aluminum-containing vaccines.
