Opinion: STAT+: RFK Jr. acknowledges receiving unproven stem cell treatment from an Antigua clinic
RFK Jr.'s admission raises new concerns about a possible upcoming wave of reckless stem cell deregulation from this administration.
Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently revealed on a health influencer podcast that he received unproven stem cells at a clinic in Antigua for his throat condition, spasmodic dysphonia. He also suggested that he wants to give the public much broader access to such unproven therapies, which would be extremely risky.
This revelation confirms what I had suspected for months about Kennedy. It also raises new concerns about a possible upcoming wave of reckless cell therapy deregulation from this administration.
