RFK Jr.-Appointed Committee Greenlights Peptides He Personally Uses

A committee hand-picked by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has approved the manufacture of peptides that Kennedy himself uses. The decision was made despite the absence of human safety or efficacy data for the substances. The move raises concerns about conflicts of interest, given that the approving body was selected by the same official who personally benefits from the compounds. Critics have noted that the lack of clinical evidence would typically be a significant barrier to such approvals. The development highlights ongoing scrutiny of decision-making processes under Kennedy's leadership.
