A group founded by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), alleging that the organization has violated federal law by saying that vaccines on the federal child vaccine schedule are safe.
Children’s Health Defense, which was founded by Kennedy, alleged in a complaint filed on Jan. 21 with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that the AAP has violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act by repeatedly describing the schedule as fully tested and proven safe, even though there is a dearth of studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
