Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is conducting a sweeping investigation into hidden financial incentives from pharmaceutical companies to healthcare providers for promoting vaccines.

The investigation, led by HHS, aims to uncover and eliminate any practices where such incentives may be influencing medical judgment.

According to Kennedy, the findings so far are deeply concerning, with the investigation uncovering what he described as alarming instances of corruption.

This investigation is part of an ongoing effort to ensure transparency and integrity in medical practices related to vaccine administration, with a focus on eliminating any undue influence from pharmaceutical companies.

The investigation has drawn attention to the broader issue of conflicts of interest in the healthcare system, particularly in relation to vaccine promotion and the potential impact on patient care.
