Summary

During his Senate confirmation hearing for Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed scientific evidence on vaccine safety despite claiming he would follow the data.

He rejected studies debunking vaccine-autism links, downplayed COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness, and avoided endorsing the HPV vaccine.

His remarks on racial differences in vaccination raised further concerns.

Lawmakers and health experts criticized his reliance on flawed research, warning his leadership could erode public trust and revive preventable diseases.

His confirmation remains contentious.

    Might have something to do with the glaring fact that he is mentally defective and completely untrained in anything related to science or medicine.

      Could also be the worm eating his brain.

      I agree that he is dimwitted and not fit to make decisions. In fact I think he needs 24/7 supervision by a competent adult. I disagree with your nomenclature ‘mentally defective’ though. He is incompetent, uneducated, a liar, an abuser, and has reduced mental capacity due to a brainworm and being a spoiled rich kid.

      Could also be the thousands each week he was receiving from his anti-vaccine non profit.
