At a recent House Appropriations Committee hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. deflected questions about his views on vaccinating children, stating he does not believe people should seek medical advice from him. His comments come amidst a discussion of the Trump Administration's proposed 2026 budget, which seeks to significantly cut funding for Health and Human Services, including programs at the CDC and NIH. Despite his controversial history regarding vaccines, Kennedy has supported some vaccination initiatives, promoting parental discretion in vaccination decisions while facing critiques for spreading misinformation about vaccines.
Kennedy stated, "I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me. I think if I answer that question directly, it will seem like I'm giving advice to other people."
The House Appropriations Committee hearing revealed concerns over proposed 26% budget cuts to the Health and Human Services, which may significantly impact public health programs.
