The Senate panel has voted narrowly to advance Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination for the Department of Health and Human Services, dividing largely along party lines. Opponents deem him a dangerous pick due to his long history as an anti-vaccine activist, while supporters argue he could address important issues like chronic diseases. The nomination will proceed to a full Senate vote, requiring support from key swing voters like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, amidst concerns from some Republicans regarding Kennedy's views on vaccines.
Kennedy's supporters insist he would bring an overdue focus to problems such as chronic disease.
Kennedy attempted to clarify his stance, denying he was anti-vaccine, stating he simply seeks more data regarding vaccine risks.
