<p>The American Public Health Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and several other major medical organizations are suing U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy over vaccines. Also listed as a plaintiff is an anonymous pregnant woman who lives in Massachusetts, where the suit was filed, and who says she was unable to get a COVID-19 vaccination after Kennedy changed the recommendations. Dr. Jason Goldman, president of the American College of Physicians, which is also involved with the suit, said during a briefing on the matter that adults who come to his practice are “hesitant” about vaccines. “They are not trusting the system anymore, and this is a direct impact on the health of our patients, because if they don’t get vaccinated, they can get sicker, they can end up hospitalized or even die.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/qkeiP7" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>flip.it/qkeiP7</a></p><p><a href="/tags/health/" rel="tag">#Health</a> <a href="/tags/medicine/" rel="tag">#Medicine</a> <a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#Science</a> <a href="/tags/vaccines/" rel="tag">#Vaccines</a> <a href="/tags/rfkjr/" rel="tag">#RFKJr</a>. <a href="/tags/robertfkennedy/" rel="tag">#RobertFKennedy</a> <a href="/tags/healthsecretary/" rel="tag">#HealthSecretary</a> <a href="/tags/covid/" rel="tag">#COVID</a></p>
