Is RFK Jr Right About Vaccine Safety? Senate Hearing Sparks Debate

Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, the debate around vaccine safety has intensified. But instead of open discussion, many who question vaccine ingredients and safety thresholds are labeled as "anti-vaxxers" or "conspiracy theorists."

But is this fair? Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. right to highlight vaccine safety concerns? Have vaccines ever been withdrawn due to safety issues? Are we too quick to dismiss scientific skepticism as misinformation?

WHO states aluminum exposure should not exceed 2 mg per kg of body weight per week, yet some vaccines significantly exceed this threshold.
