NIH board chair warns RFK Jr.'s vaccine injury clinic could harm Clinical Center's reputation
At a board meeting overseeing the NIH Clinical Center Research Hospital, chair Jack Leslie spent six minutes criticizing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over a ribbon-cutting event for a new vaccine injury clinic, which featured a panel of people claiming vaccine injuries. Hospital CEO Jonathan Green clarified that the NIH already studies vaccine safety and that Kennedy's clinic is simply a new treatment protocol, not an expansion of funding or space.
