The Senate Finance Committee is currently in the process of evaluating the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be the secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy faced intense scrutiny during two days of Senate confirmation hearings last week as he sought to address concerns regarding his past anti-vaccine views.
During the hearings, members from both parties questioned Kennedy about his history of linking vaccines to autism in children. Despite attempts to distance himself from his previous statements, Kennedy's past remarks continued to be a focal point of the discussions.
