In a scrutiny of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s pledge to transfer his economic interests in vaccine litigation, law experts criticized this movement, but Kennedy's approach is past other civil servants. Note that it is not very different from the action you took.
During the hearing of Kennedy's confirmation last week, the next secretary of the Ministry of Health and Welfare was a fiscal lawsuit in a personal judging lawsuit linked to the vaccine, especially the lawsuit with a pharmaceutical company Merck and its gardasyl cancer vaccine. Survey on interests. Kennedy initially did not promise to let go of the shares against Merck, but he reversed the course in writing in writing the members of the Diet after hearing and fixes his pledge. My non -dependent sons, who pointed out my interest in my litigation.
Some legal experts argue that this movement is not enough to cancel Kennedy's potential conflict, but others are in the same situation.

“It can comply with the problem of ordinary conflicts of interest,” said Jim Co -Pland, the director in charge of legal policy at the Manhattan Research Institute. “I don't think the Ministry of Health and Welfare has a business that is involved in a lawsuit against Merck.”
Ilya Shapiro, a legal professional of his fellow Manhattan Research Institute, said that it was unknown whether Kennedy's movement was enough to avoid real conflicts, but “unusual in the past. It was not that he recognized it.
Both the Democratic Party and the Republican members use their families to protect themselves from ethical complaints related to personal business transactions, and former President Joe Biden discovered that both his son and brother were both.

Trump's alliance group pressed the Republican Senator to check the RFK JR.
“The RFK plan to take over the financial interests that may be injured in a vaccine to my son is my opinion enough to satisfy ethical concerns,” told Fox News Digital. “This is especially applicable for restrictions on the federal law on requests made to vaccine manufacturers that strictly restrict the compensation for those who claim the vaccine.”
Spakovsky, the federal government's national vaccine injury compensation program is prohibited from drug manufacturers and instructed the federal government to manage vaccine injury payments, and Kennedy's potential for payment of injury related to vaccine.

RFK Jr. stated that COPLAND, who agreed to Spakovsky, stated that the vaccine compensation program would reduce most of the advantages of Kennedy, and RFK Jr. could benefit in an indirect way.
“Oh, I'm more concerned about conflicting interests than saying,” Oh, you have a lot of shares in some companies that may bring your profits. ” Said Coupland. “In other words, if there is a secretary of the Pentagon, the CEO of the major military contractor, and tells his son, you are still worried about it because you are still interested. This is different from a certain kind of normal.
RFK JR spent the weekend and talked to a major Senator who could make and break his confirmation.
Fox News's Regal Analyst Andy Mucker Sea was more critical of Kennedy's decision to give his son's economic interests. It emphasizes that this is a true conflict. “
“The comparison with the transfer of family assets in other context is inappropriate, and in any case we have missed points,” McCarcy said. “No matter what President Trump's arrangements on his family management, the voters knew about the business, and just selected him, and the president refused himself from government decisions based on conflicts of interest. “Everyone has been elected.”
