He ordered a woman exposed to hantavirus to remain in quarantine despite a Centers for Disease Control recommendation that others in similar circumstances be allowed to return home for local health monitoring. Additionally, Kennedy demanded answers from a medical journal that had removed a published study suggesting a link between vaccines and infant death, a move that prompted criticism from public health advocates who characterized his letter as bullying. He also sought to expedite an appeal of a court ruling that had frozen decisions by a federal vaccine advisory panel he oversaw.See the puzzle →
