Date set for Robert F Kennedy Jr's Health secretary confirmation hearings
Fox News
The Senate committees on health and finance will probe Robert F. Kennedy Jr. next week in his bid to be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Kennedy's nomination could face opposition, even from Republicans. In particular, Kennedy's views and past statements about vaccines have been scrutinized by both GOP and Democratic lawmakers. Additionally, GOP lawmakers have been concerned about Kennedy's pro-abortion views that he has espoused in the past and his potential impact on the agriculture sector.
In an interview with "Fox News Sunday" earlier this month, Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, the top lawmaker on the Senate HELP committee, said Kennedy was "wrong" on vaccinations. One example that has been raised was Kennedy's alleged efforts, which he has denied, to promote doubts around vaccine efficacy during a 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa. Those efforts included a letter Kennedy sent to the country's prime minister, as chairman of Children's Health Defense, suggesting that the measles vaccine could have potentially exacerbated the outbreak.
