"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. battled during a bombastic hearing on Kennedy's recent moves to reclassify several vaccines and to fire the head of the CDC, who the Senate recently confirmed. Sanders asked Kennedy, President Trump, who I don't usually agree with, called Covid vaccines, quote, one of the greatest miracles in the history of modern day medicine that saved tens of millions of lives worldwide.'"
"Kennedy hit back, No, first of all, I didn't say that. I said that in terms of VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) reports a while ago. I said today, I think that President Trump should get the Nobel Prize. Sanders hit back, So who's right? Is Trump and the medical community right? Kennedy replied, President Trump did an extraordinary piece of leadership. Is he right or wrong? Did Covid [vaccines] save millions of lives?"
Sen. Bernie Sanders pressed HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about Kennedy's efforts to reclassify vaccines and to remove the recently Senate-confirmed CDC director. Sanders cited President Trump's praise of COVID vaccines and a Lancet estimate that nearly 20 million deaths were prevented in the first year. Sanders asked whether Kennedy still considered the COVID vaccine the "deadliest vaccine ever made." Kennedy said his earlier comments referenced VAERS reports, praised Trump’s leadership, suggested Trump deserved a Nobel Prize, and conceded the vaccine "saved quite a few" lives while noting it was well matched to the circulating virus then. Sanders highlighted widespread medical consensus on vaccine safety and asked about Kennedy's scientific advisers.
