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 miss when we had actual leaders, and that includes a willingness to admit that you don’t know everything and defer to experts.

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

    It needs to be presented by some schmuck in front of a computer saying “this is what they don’t want you to know!” Then he’ll believe it.
