RFK Jr. Grilled Over Vaccine Policies

Secretary Kennedy defended proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health and changes to preventive disease screening committees during a marathon session on Capitol Hill.

Republican Senator Bill Cassidy and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren both pressed the secretary on how his public statements have impacted trust in childhood immunizations.

Kennedy denied responsibility for recent outbreaks and claimed to support certain vaccines while questioning the safety of others.

The hearings highlighted the deep divisions over the administration's 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda and its potential impact on public health infrastructure.
