The FDA withdrew or blocked publication of at least four internally conducted studies that found COVID-19 and shingles vaccines to be safe, directing scientists to pull two COVID vaccine papers already accepted by medical journals in October 2025 and blocking Shingrix study abstracts from a drug safety conference in February 2026. The withdrawals, occurring under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s tenure, have drawn accusations of scientific censorship from Harvard researchers and twelve former FDA commissioners, while the agency says the studies drew conclusions not supported by the data.
