YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHealth Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told the Senate Finance Committee yesterday that the country’s major medical and scientific groups can’t be trusted.
In Thursday’s hearing, Kennedy told senators he thinks the American Academy of Pediatrics (APP) is conflicted, claiming its biggest contributors are the four largest vaccine makers. The AAP said the claim was false and misleading, that less than 4% of their revenue comes from industry sources, and that pediatricians support vaccines because they are safe and they work to protect children’s health.
Since being sworn in as the country’s top health official, Kennedy has cancelled millions for vaccine research, had his own CDC director fired and limited the FDA approval for the latest COVID-19 booster.
