Sen. Elizabeth Warren expressed significant concerns regarding Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services by sending him 175 detailed questions. Her inquiries highlight her skepticism towards his controversial views, especially on vaccine safety, citing alarming statistics about vaccination impacts and safety issues raised during a measles outbreak in Samoa. Warren's letter serves as a precursor to what is anticipated to be a tense questioning session in the Senate Finance Committee, reflecting deep partisan divides on health policies.
Given your dangerous views on vaccine safety and public health, including your baseless opposition to vaccines, and your inconsistent statements in important policy areas like reproductive rights access, I have serious concerns regarding your ability to oversee the Department.
In her letter, Warren cited research showing that vaccines have saved some 154 million lives over the past 50 years. More than 140 million of those saved were children.
