    RFK Jr.’s Bold Reassurance to Anti-Vaxxers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    BPC-157 is rumored to heal almost anything: a sore shoulder, a bum knee, a pulled hamstring, ulcerative colitis. Maybe even traumatic brain injuries and multiple sclerosis, too. The drug—part of a class called peptides—has been around for decades.

Thousands of Americans are taking it. And almost all o
