Incoming Senate Finance Committee Chairman Mike Crapo refrained from commenting on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine skepticism but expressed his support for President-elect Donald Trump's choice to lead the Health and Human Services Department. Crapo, whose committee will play a crucial role in the nomination process, met with Kennedy on Tuesday.
When questioned about Kennedy's stance on vaccines, Crapo declined to disclose details of their private conversation. He also avoided addressing Kennedy's unsubstantiated claims linking vaccines to childhood autism, stating that he prefers not to comment on quotes from others without verification.
