During Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s senate confirmation hearing, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) thanked Kennedy for voicing opposition to vaccines, stating his newborn granddaughter would not be receiving routine childhood immunizations.
"I've had my first granddaughter here in a couple of weeks," Tuberville said. "My son and his wife have done their research about vaccines, and she's not going to be a pin cushion—we're not going to allow that to happen."
