RFK Jr.’s vaccine injury clinic could damage NIH hospital, board warns
摘要

美国国立卫生研究院临床中心研究医院董事会主席莱斯利在例行会议上批评卫生部长肯尼迪的反疫苗活动,警告其在该院开设疫苗伤害诊所并举行剪彩仪式可能损害这家被称为“希望之家”的医院声誉。莱斯利表示,董事会若保持沉默即为失职,同时强调疫苗严重反应虽罕见但真实存在,认为自称受伤者应被认真对待。

At a recent meeting of the board that oversees the National Institutes of Health's Clinical Center Research Hospital, chair Jack Leslie opened with cheerful introductions and gregarious chatter—then diverted from the agenda of the regularly scheduled meeting. He spent the next six minutes delivering a pointed rebuke of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, warning that his anti-vaccine activities could tarnish the venerable hospital, often called the "house of hope" for patients with rare conditions or those who have exhausted all other options.

Leslie took issue with a recent stunt Kennedy had pulled at the hospital, which involved making a surprise appearance for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open his signature vaccine injury clinic. The ceremony included a panel with people claiming to have been injured by vaccines. They sat behind placards reading "vaccine injured" and spoke with Kennedy and other high-ranking Trump administration officials.

Leslie prefaced his comments by noting that some might prefer he not speak out against Kennedy's efforts. "But I think that that would be a failing as an advisory board if we were silent," he said. Leslie also noted that he has no concerns about studying potential injuries from vaccines. "Serious reactions are rare, but real," he said, and people who believe they've been injured should "be taken seriously."
