Summary

Aaron Siri, lawyer for RFK Jr. and vaccine skeptic organizations, has petitioned the FDA to revoke approval of the polio vaccine and pause 13 others, citing concerns about aluminum and autism.

Siri has a history of challenging vaccine mandates and filing lawsuits to force disclosure of FDA vaccine approval documents.

Public health experts warn his efforts fuel vaccine hesitancy amid declining vaccination rates and rising diseases like measles.

With Kennedy set to oversee the FDA as health secretary, vaccine policy may face intensified scrutiny under their shared "medical freedom" agenda.
