Stanford study models disease deaths if vaccine supply halts under RFK Jr. health leadership

Researchers at Stanford University have modeled mortality and disability projections for the next 25 years if vaccine supplies for polio, measles, and rubella are disrupted. The analysis comes as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who founded an antivaccination advocacy group, prepares to assume the role of health secretary and is considering policy changes that could prompt pharmaceutical companies to discontinue vaccine production in the United States. The source characterizes these potential policy shifts as capable of making vaccines harder for children to access.
