Top Senate Republican Calls Out RFK Jr. for Enacting Anti-Vax Agenda as Head of HHS: I've Grown Deeply Concerned'

"So over the last 50 years, vaccines are estimated to have saved 154 million lives worldwide. I support vaccines. I'm a doctor. Vaccines work. Secretary Kennedy, in your confirmation hearings, you promised to uphold the highest standards for vaccines. Since then, I've grown deeply concerned. The public has seen measles outbreaks; leadership of the National Institute of Health questioning the use of mRNA vaccines; the recently confirmed director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fired. Americans don't know who to rely on."

"Recent polls that 89% of voters 81% of Trump voters agree vaccine recommendations should come from trained physicians, scientists, public health experts. So, they believe, Senator Marshall, Senator Cassidy, they believe me when it comes to vaccines. If we're going to make America healthy again, we can't allow public health to be undermined. So could you explain what steps you're going to be taking to ensure vaccine guidance is clear, evidence-based, and trustworthy?"

Senator John Barrasso said he has grown deeply concerned about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s handling of vaccine policy. Kennedy testified before the Senate Finance Committee and faced harsh criticism and tense questioning from senators on both sides, including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Barrasso cited vaccines saving an estimated 154 million lives, recent measles outbreaks, NIH leadership questioning mRNA vaccine use, and the firing of the recently confirmed CDC director as sources of public confusion. Polls show strong public preference for recommendations from trained physicians and public health experts. Kennedy assured that vaccine guidance would be clear, evidence-based, and trustworthy.
