> Jack Leslie, chair of the board overseeing the NIH Clinical Center Research Hospital, criticized Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s ribbon-cutting for a vaccine injury clinic at the hospital, warning that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine activities could tarnish its reputation. Leslie said studying possible vaccine injuries is appropriate: serious reactions are rare but real, and people who believe they were injured should be taken seriously.
