Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparred with senators on vaccine policy, the unforgivable government response to the Covid flu, recent CDC shake-ups and public health.
The Democrat shrieking harpies threw everything they had at him and came up snake eyes.
Kennedy didn’t mince words at the beginning of his remarks, saying the Trump administration is pouring resources into combating chronic diseases that he testified have reached critical numbers in the country and require radical action.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we at HHS are enacting a once-in-a-generation shift from a sick-care system to a true health care system that tackles the root causes of chronic disease,” he said.
He defended the CDC ousters, arguing the agency failed during the COVID-19 pandemic, blaming the agency for businesses closures, masking of students at schools and other mandates.
President Donald Trump praised Kennedy’s appearance.
RFK, Jr.’s willingness to make changes on vaccine recommendations and make staffing changes to best work out his agenda has riled up many on Capitol Hill. The HHS Secretary appeared before the Senate Finance Committee. Wall Street Journal: Kennedy faced bipartisan criticism for replacing a vaccine-advisory panel with handpicked critics of vaccines, and senators from both parties sounded the alarm over possible changes to the routine childhood immunization schedule. He rejected assertions that he was taking vaccines away, even as senators pointed to examples of immunocompromised people being denied Covid vaccines under new federal limits on who can get them (Wall Street Journal).
One of the most heated interchanges was that of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with Kennedy. After Sanders points out how pretty much everyone there had taken PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry, Kennedy responds: I don’t know what you’re talking about. The issue is every time anyone disagrees with you, are you saying the pharmaceutical industry was supporting my presidential campaign? I don’t think so (X).

I find it appalling, the way RFK Jr has been treated by our Senators. The ivory tower career politicians are out of touch with America and their arrogance is disgusting.

RFK Jr. just went off for 2 minutes straight tearing into the politicization of COVID.

Bernie Sanders feels so guilty for taking money from Big Pharma that he starts pointing at everyone else who took Big Pharma money.

WOW: 1,000+ HHS staff just signed a letter “demanding” @SecKennedy resign.
Why? Because he won’t bow to Pharma or the bureaucrats.
RFK is making historic progress—so the machine is desperate to smear and silence him.
That’s how you know he’s right over the target. pic.twitter.com/OgcCAhcegG

Here’s the sequence of events:
RFK Jr. just walked into Congress and took down his biggest critics in one fell swoop.
This was a masterclass.
Elizabeth Warren erupted over Kennedy “taking” COVID vaccines away—only to have her $855,000 in pharma bucks exposed.
That’s when Bernie Sanders made a fatal error:… pic.twitter.com/H2NKlO4Pqr

Moments later, Kennedy articulated further exactly why he’s cleaning house. He grew emotional and dropped a harrowing statistic that brought the room to silence.

Kennedy quickly received pushback from Senator Michael Bennett (D-Colorado).
Bennet took issue with Kennedy appointing Dr. Robert Malone to the ACIP committee, a body of experts that advises the CDC on vaccine use and policy.

Mid-hearing, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) gave his Senate floor time to Kennedy to expose the corporate capture of America’s health agencies.

Senator Johnson also used his time to share some big news.
He revealed that a high-quality Vax vs. Unvax study will finally be made public on Tuesday, September 9.
Originally conducted in 2000, the results have been buried for 25 years—until now.

RFK Jr.’s next major showdown came when Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) erupted over his promise not to “take” vaccines away.
Kennedy replied that he isn’t taking vaccines away — but he also won’t promote pharmaceutical products without clinical data to support them.… pic.twitter.com/vojhaVGRM3

Watching Kennedy’s exchange with Warren prompted Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) to make a fatal error:

Kennedy got backup firepower from Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) — a licensed OB-GYN — when he silenced the room by revealing the shocking number of shots kids are expected to take by age 18.
