RFK Jr. to Allow Use of Unapproved Peptide Injections

“Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Wednesday that he would allow widespread patient access to unapproved peptide injections made popular by internet influencers, sparking serious concern among drug safety experts,” the New York Times reports.

“The plan would bypass the most standard Food and Drug Administration safeguards for approving drugs, such as tests to see if the compounds work better than a placebo and whether they might cause cancer or birth defects.”
