Supreme Court Declines Vaccine Appeals from RFK Jr.-Founded Group
Children's Health Defense's challenges to FDA and Rutgers University vaccine mandates remain dismissed
- The Supreme Court refused to hear two cases from Children's Health Defense, founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- The cases challenged the FDA's emergency authorization of COVID-19 vaccines and Rutgers University's vaccine mandate.
- Lower courts had previously dismissed both cases, and the Supreme Court's decision leaves those rulings in place.
- The group also has a pending lawsuit against several news organizations over claims of antitrust violations related to misinformation.
- A separate case challenging Connecticut's removal of religious exemptions for school vaccines was also declined by the court.
