Robert F. Kennedy gives him the right of the committee members of the Senate Health Committee to maintain the financial interests of the main vaccine litigation. Was stated.
It seems to be a reversal from the details of the government ethics agreement. He submitted a confirmation of the Senate to become the Health Health Secretary of the State.
Last week, the ethics agreement provided to the Senator said that it would hold shares in continuous lawsuits. In other words, he said that if it was confirmed, it would be possible to pay while supervising the vast US bureaucracy, including the regulations of pharmaceutical companies. Financial disclosure has specified Kennedy to collect commissions from Wiss Baum, a Los Angeles -based human injury law firm.
Kennedy said he sent hundreds of clients to the company. This claims that young people have been injured by the company's gardaxyl vaccine, aimed at preventing cervical cancer caused by human nipples or HPV. In the ethical statement, he reported: “I have the right to receive 10 % of the awarded fee when I mentioned Wiss Baum.”
The lawmakers considered his confirmation on Wednesday and Thursday and blamed for financial agreements. Many Democratic members have suggested that they have proposed a unique dispute to financially acquire from the decision of the public health secretary involving a drug company.
“I gave all the rights to the fees for the lawsuit,” Kennedy told the Senator on Thursday. “I don't personally maintain a fee,” said Katie Miller, a spokeswoman for Kennedy.
However, in accordance with the results of the litigation or the results of the decision, the agreement with the law firm to pay a 10 % emergency fee to Kennedy is changed or revised to redirect payment in some way. I didn't answer the additional questions about whether or not. It may be placed on a certain trust or a limited liability company or directed to the family. The funds can be distributed to other lawyers of the company. (Kennedy's son, Connor Kennedy, is a lawyer of Wiss Baum.)
The U.S. Government Bureau and Wisner Baum, which tend to approve candidates' contracts, did not respond immediately on Thursday. The Ethics Bureau reminded the government candidates that the substantial changes in contracts must be cleared.
On Wednesday, the widespread clips of Senator Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic Party of Massachusetts, outlined how Kennedy would affect the lawsuit.
During her interrogation, Kennedy did not promise to leave the profit from the Gardasil case.
“Kennedy kills access to the vaccine and can earn millions of dollars while he does it,” said Warren. “Children may die, but Robert Kennedy can maintain cash.”
On Thursday, in the second hearing, Senator Patty Malay, a Democratic member of Washington, talked about how effective the HPV vaccine was in preventing cervical cancer.
You said, “It actually raises the risk of cervical cancer. Will you support those statements?” Malay asked.
Kennedy did not answer directly, saying he was in front of JU this week. Wisser Baum's lawyer represents a young plaintiff who claims that she had suffered a blood circulation after taking the HPV vaccine in California this month.
Senator Tim Kane, a Democratic member of Virginia, continued the boundaries of questions on Thursday, quoted many positive research on Gardasil, which was made in Virginia on Thursday. 。 He asked about Kennedy's decision to maintain the interests of the lawsuit.
“If you succeed in a vaccine manufacturer, if you can get a lot of money, people who need to be confident in the federal vaccine program trust that you can get a lot of money. Can you ask?
It was the first time that Kennedy had publicly disclosed him that he was giving up.
According to public records, Kennedy has earned about $ 2.5 million since 2022 with Wiss Baum.
After a sharp question of Senator Warren about the potential dispute, including economic interests in litigation against a drug manufacturer, Winner Baum paid $ 2.5 million in a round -up of weed murder. He has issued a statement that is related to Kennedy's job regarding other related incidents. According to the company, none of them were associated with vaccine litigation.
