Murray Presses RFK Jr. on Anti-Vaccine Extremism & Credible Accusations of Sexual Assault at Hearing

U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former Chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, questioned RFK Jr. at the Senate HELP Committee hearing on his nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)—pressing him forcefully on whether he stands by false statements he made about the HPV vaccine and whether he would, under oath before senators, recommend that parents get their children vaccinated against diseases like HPV and measles. Murray also asked about credible accusations of sexual harassment and assault against RFK Jr. that had not yet been brought up at his confirmation hearings.
