RFK Jr. Defends Health Budget

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. concluded a marathon week of congressional hearings, defending President Trump’s 2027 budget request for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Lawmakers grilled Kennedy on proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health and his past skepticism regarding vaccines amid rising measles cases.

During the testy exchanges, Kennedy maintained that his department advises all children to receive the measles vaccine, despite his personal history of critical remarks.

The hearings highlighted sharp partisan divides over the administration's 'Make America Healthy Again' initiative and its potential impact on public health infrastructure.
