RFK Jr. Confronts Senators Over Pharma Funds Amid Vaccine Debate

During his Senate confirmation hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, accused multiple senators of receiving substantial financial donations from the pharmaceutical industry. This exchange occurred while Senator Bernie Sanders questioned Kennedy about his stance on vaccines. RFK Jr. avoided giving direct answers to the widely accepted medical consensus that vaccines do not cause autism. His testimony has ignited a wider debate about the role of pharmaceutical funding in politics and its potential impact on public health policy.
