Police in the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau conducted a raid on an office associated with allies of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. following allegations of an unauthorized and potentially unethical vaccine trial. The investigation centers on plans to administer hepatitis B vaccines to infants, a project that local authorities have flagged for regulatory scrutiny.

According to reports, the police seized a quantity of vaccine doses during the operation. The primary point of contention involves the legality and safety protocols of the proposed study. While the organization linked to Kennedy Jr. has previously advocated for vaccine skepticism and independent research, local health officials in Guinea-Bissau maintain that the trial did not receive the necessary government approvals to proceed. The raid serves as a formal intervention by the state to halt the distribution of the vaccines until the investigation is complete.

There is currently a disagreement regarding the intent behind the project. Supporters of the initiative argue that the trial was designed to address public health needs, while local authorities and critics characterize the project as an unethical experiment that bypassed standard medical oversight. As of now, no formal charges have been filed against the individuals involved, but the seized materials remain in police custody as evidence for the ongoing probe.
