RFK Jr. Dodges Questions on Vaccines During Senate Hearing
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced scrutiny during his Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, specifically regarding his past statements about vaccines and autism. Senator Bernie Sanders directly questioned Kennedy about his stance on the issue, given the overwhelming scientific evidence debunking any link between vaccines and autism.
Kennedy, however, avoided providing a clear answer. He stated that he would not enter the office with any "preordained" beliefs and would accept studies demonstrating the absence of a connection. This response stands in stark contrast to his previous statements, including a 2023 Fox News interview where he explicitly claimed that "autism does come from vaccines."
The hearing, which entered its second day, highlighted the ongoing debate surrounding vaccine safety and the role of prominent figures in spreading misinformation. Kennedy's refusal to unequivocally reject his past claims has raised concerns about his suitability for a position that requires upholding public health and scientific evidence.

RFK Jr. is right to be cautious about vaccines. There are many unanswered questions about their safety and long-term effects.
