- RFK Jr called for the retraction of a Danish study finding no link between aluminum in vaccines and childhood diseases.
- The study, published in Annals of Internal Medicine, analyzed 1.2 million children and found no significant risk from aluminum in vaccines.
- Kennedy criticized the study's methodology, but the journal defended its validity, stating no errors or misconduct were found.
- Aluminum salts in vaccines have been widely used and studied, with no evidence of significant side effects.
- Previous claims linking aluminum in vaccines to autism have been debunked due to flawed study designs.
- Kennedy's concerns included the exclusion of children who died before age two and the lack of comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.
- The study's authors responded to critiques, including Kennedy's, and defended their findings.
