Drug industry executives are lashing out as U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tightens vaccine standards, re-examines childhood schedules and demands what he calls gold-standard science. “I’m seriously frustrated,” Pfizer’s CEO said of Kennedy’s changes, which are cutting U.S. vaccine sales and slowing new trials.
