Police in Guinea-Bissau raided the Bandim Health Project office in Bissau, seizing hepatitis B vaccines intended for a trial on children. The operation follows allegations that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s allies planned an "unethical" study.
Health Minister Quinhin Nantote confirmed the government had not authorized the trial, stating it must comply with national and international ethical standards. The judicial police stated the seizure was an investigative procedure to clarify circumstances, not a conclusion of irregularities in vaccine quality or safety. The trial is currently halted pending official approval.
