Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his vaccine skepticism, is attempting to reassure Senate Republicans ahead of his confirmation hearing as President Trump’s nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary.
Kennedy claims he supports vaccine safety and is “all for” vaccines like the polio vaccine, a notable shift from past controversial comments suggesting vaccines cause autism or other health issues.
While some senators express cautious optimism, critics highlight his history of promoting anti-vaccine rhetoric, warning his confirmation could undermine public confidence in vaccines.
His hearing is set for January 29.
Didn’t he just resign from his role at an anti-vaccine non profit like today or yesterday?
Man we need proper news reporting and journalism back.
It wouldn’t matter because the Senate will just pretend like he’s a reasonable nominee regardless of his past actions or current beliefs.
