"Kennedy's chances of getting confirmed by the Senate aren't clear. His past comments questioning vaccine science and the food industry could lose -- and gain -- votes on either side of the aisle depending on how he talks about his plans for the incoming administration."
"Kennedy has falsely claimed that childhood vaccines cause autism, even though the study claiming that link has been retracted and numerous other high-quality studies have found no evidence that vaccines are tied to autism."
"Dr. Richard Besser, a former head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said senators should ask Kennedy if he would consider using his new post to discourage local school districts from requiring vaccinations."
