On January 18, 2025, it was revealed that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. played an instrumental role in organizing mass litigation against Merck over its Gardasil vaccine. This strategy faces its first test in a Los Angeles court.
Kennedy Jr.'s involvement highlights ongoing legal challenges and negative publicity surrounding Merck's HPV vaccine. This situation is particularly sensitive given his potential confirmation as President Donald Trump's Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The litigation poses a risk to Gardasil's market perception and could lead to significant legal costs for Merck. The company has consistently defended the safety and efficacy of its HPV vaccines, citing extensive scientific evidence.
