Kennedy Aided Class Action Suit Against HPV Vaccine

Reuters reports:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. played an instrumental role in organizing mass litigation against drugmaker Merck over its Gardasil vaccine, a strategy that faces its first test in a Los Angeles court next week, according to two attorneys close to the case and court filings. Kennedy awaits confirmation as U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. The role would give him direct authority over a special vaccine court that compensates injuries.

Details of the Gardasil litigation show how Kennedy took action beyond sowing doubt about the safety and efficacy of vaccines in the court of public opinion and helped build a case against the pharmaceutical industry before judges and juries. Krakow saw grounds to sue Merck directly over its human papillomavirus shot Gardasil after handling some injury claims in vaccine court. He believed there was also evidence that Merck had fraudulently advertised Gardasil as safe.
