"Kennedy appeared before the Senate following the departure of CDC Director Susan Monarez and other officials. Monarez accused Kennedy of wanting her to endorse his vaccine guidelines even if they went against scientific evidence (something he denied), and senators accused Kennedy of everything from lying to putting infants in danger. The hearing got so off the rails at times that CNN quickly cut together a montage of Kennedy clashing with Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and others."
"This is senators from both parties, Democrats and many Republicans, trying to get basic answers from the Secretary of Health and Human Services about significant changes to the CDC, radical changes to vaccine policy. Things were heated before Kennedy even got to his first question. His opening statement was disrupted by a protester who accused him of killing millions. It was unclear what else the protester said, but she made reference to authorization and it takes three months."
