YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRosa DeLauro just confronted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a heated congressional hearing — and she didn’t hold back. With measles outbreaks rising, DeLauro pressed RFK Jr. on why the administration is pushing to slash $20 billion from NIH research, gut cancer programs by 31%, and eliminate CDC’s Office of Smoking and Health — a program proven to save lives and billions in healthcare costs.
This wasn’t just about numbers. It was about whether the U.S. will protect science, fund life-saving research, and defend public health — or let ideology undermine decades of progress.
We break down the exchange, explain what the cuts really mean for cancer research, vaccine safety, and tobacco prevention, and why DeLauro’s fiery pushback is so critical in this moment.
👉 What do you think — are these cuts reckless, or justified? Drop your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more progressive breakdowns.
