1:22Now PlayingRobert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the US Department of Health and Human Services, told a US Senate committee that he would not stop anyone from getting polio and measles vaccines. #rfkjr #trump #politics #health #worldnews #vaccine
Near the start of the contentious hearing, Ron Wyden of Oregon, the ranking Democratic senator on the committee, said Kennedy “has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines.”
After Wyden referred to a 2023 podcast where Kennedy said that “there’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective” the nominee said it was taken out of context and he had been about to qualify it before he was interrupted. Bringing it up again was “dishonest,” Kennedy said.
“I support the measles vaccine. I support the polio vaccine,” he said.
