YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Kim Schrier (D-WA) accused Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of lying to Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) when he told the senator he would maintain a key federal vaccine advisory committee “without changes.”
During a budget hearing held by the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, Schrier, a pediatrician, described the dire impacts of skipping childhood vaccinations for illnesses, such as whopping cough.
“Now I know Sen. Cassidy had concerns about your views on this, and so when he voted to confirm you as Secretary of HHS on Feb. 4, he explained that decision by saying on the Senate floor that, ‘If confirmed, you will maintain the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes,'” Schrier recounted.
Kennedy denied ever making that commitment to Cassidy and said if the Louisiana senator said as much, then that was “inaccurate.”
