Kennedy orders removal of misleading vaccine information page

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. health secretary, ordered the removal of a fake webpage linked to his anti-vaccine group. The page resembled the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) site and falsely suggested a connection between vaccines and autism. The website was published by Children’s Health Defense, an organization founded by Kennedy. His directive came after The New York Times raised questions about the page, which quickly spread on social media. On Saturday evening, the page was removed. The Health and Human Services Department stated that Kennedy instructed the Office of the General Counsel to formally demand its deletion. In their statement, the department emphasized its commitment to supporting evidence-based science.
