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.

    I am officially middle aged now, that’s the first time I’ve brought that old chestnut out without joking.

        That’s why they want to stop Healthcare for women. Get rid of sex ed, because teens will have sex. Get rid of profilactics. All part of the plan.
