Summary
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declined to clearly endorse vaccines during a House hearing amid a deadly U.S. measles outbreak.
Asked if he’d vaccinate his children today, Kennedy said, “My opinions about vaccines are irrelevant,” despite past regrets over vaccinating his own kids.
He promoted unproven measles remedies like budesonide and cod liver oil. Lawmakers and health experts criticized his refusal to advocate for vaccines, calling it irresponsible given his role.
The U.S. has seen over 1,000 measles cases in 2025, with three confirmed deaths.
But this fucker is more than happy to force you to follow his medical opinion by removing previously available, legal, and safe options.
The hearings also come as House Republicans work on portions of a bill that propose making deep cuts to Medicaid and could leave millions of people uninsured. Kennedy acknowledged that the legislation — as currently written — would cause people to lose their health insurance, following a question from Sanders. “I can go through the people who will lose it. A million people … there are a million people,” Kennedy said
Really buried that lede.
The headline should be “Kennedy admits that he should not be Health and Human Services Secretary and should not be involved in decisions”
“I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me”
