Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended his radical reforms of federal health agencies during congressional hearings, asserting he hadn't terminated scientists or impeded research funding. He expressed reluctance to provide vaccination guidance, stating, 'I don't think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me.' Furthermore, he faced reproof from Democrats regarding significant workforce reductions and funding cuts to health research. His major initiative includes restructuring agencies, leading to a loss of 20,000 jobs and the formation of a new entity, 'Administration for a Healthy America,' raising concerns about the concentration of power and efficacy of health services.
Kennedy stated he would not make vaccine recommendations, saying, 'I don't think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me,' highlighting his controversial views.
