"Kennedy noted accurately that America is home to 4.2% of the world's population and had 20% of its covid deaths, without reference to rampant misinformation leading to public resistance to vaccine use that was not present elsewhere. We literally did worse than any country in the world, and the people at CDC who oversaw that process, who put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are the people who will be leaving."
"Share Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr opened his testimony this morning with an appreciation for Officer David Rose, who was killed while fending off a gunman at the Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) last month. A protester interrupted his initial comments, shouting from the seats You're killing millions of people! before being dragged out of the committee room."
"Senator Ron Wyden said the US is in a healthcare calamity after CDC employees were fired or resigned because they wouldn't go along with Robert F Kennedy Jr's anti-vaccine views. The Democrat called Kennedy's tenure a disaster. Wyden called for Kennedy to quit or be fired, noting that Kennedy testified earlier that he would do nothing to make it harder for Americans to get vaccines. That was a lie, Wyden said, asking for Kennedy to be formally sworn in before testifying. The chairman refused."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before Congress while praising Officer David Rose, who was killed defending the CDC, and faced a protester interruption. Kennedy cited U.S. COVID-19 statistics, criticized CDC actions such as masking children and school closures, and listed HHS activities including reduced animal testing and drug approval progress. Senator Ron Wyden condemned Kennedy's tenure, said the U.S. faces a healthcare calamity after CDC departures tied to Kennedy's views, and demanded resignation or firing. Healthcare workers sought signs that lawmakers would address the firing of CDC chief Susan Monarez.
