Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has advanced in his nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Trump administration, despite widespread opposition due to his associations with the anti-vaccine movement. The Senate Committee on Finance voted narrowly to forward his nomination to the full Senate, where he could oversee trillions in healthcare spending if confirmed. The committee was split along party lines, indicating deep political divisions regarding health policy and public trust in vaccines, despite Kennedy's assurances against vaccine prevention policy.
To say we’re in a vaccine crisis is to ignore what we’ve learned from decades of vaccination success... Evidence shows they are safe and effective.
Kennedy disputes the anti-vaccine characterization and asserts that he wouldn’t prevent Americans from getting inoculations as Secretary.
The committee’s decision to advance Kennedy, despite significant opposition, reflects the polarized nature of public health politics in the current administration.
