Stalled publication sparked concerns that information conflicting with Kennedy’s views may be sidelined

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention delayed publishing a report showing the benefits of the Covid vaccine, according to a new report.

The stalled publication has sparked concerns that information conflicting with the views of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — a longtime vaccine skeptic — may be sidelined. The CDC, however, insists the move followed standard procedure.

The new report found that healthy adults who received the Covid vaccine cut their risk of urgent care and emergency visits by 50 percent, and Covid-related hospitalizations by 55 percent, compared to adults who did not receive a dose in 2025 or 2026, according to The Washington Post.
