During Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearing for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services, he faced intense scrutiny regarding his long-standing anti-vaccine views. Although Kennedy claimed he is not anti-vaccine and that his children are vaccinated, his history suggests otherwise, including his founding of an anti-vaccine organization. He also faced questions about his past comments, seemingly urging caution around vaccines and his involvement in a measles outbreak in Samoa that resulted in numerous deaths.
Kennedy testified at his confirmation hearing, asserting he is not anti-vaccine despite a record advocating against vaccination and his role in a measles outbreak.
In his opening statement, Kennedy proclaimed his support for vaccines while simultaneously having a lengthy history of anti-vaccine sentiments and actions.
