Kennedy Jr. to explain his financial ties to Wisner Baum, the Scientology-linked law firm spearheading lawsuits claiming Merck’s Gardasil HPV vaccine causes injury, as Joseph Choi for The Hill reports. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) and Andy Kim (D-NJ) sent Kennedy 21 questions demanding answers by August 11, after Merck agreed in June to pay $50 million to settle more than 200 Gardasil suits.
