Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attended his first Senate hearing seeking the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services. He clarified his views on vaccines and public health amid skepticism from Democrats who cited his past statements opposing vaccines. While Kennedy claimed to support significant vaccines like those for measles and polio, concerns lingered due to his previous comments suggesting vaccines pose health risks. His nomination has brought forth discussions about his inconsistent stances on health issues that could impact his effectiveness in reducing chronic diseases and healthcare costs.
"I am not anti-vaccine," Kennedy told the committee. He also said, "I support the measles vaccine. I support the polio vaccine."
