"Mr. Secretary, do you have a medical or public health degree? No, Kennedy replied. With that out of the way, Thompson then unleashed President Donald Trump's top health official."
"Your dangerous conspiracy theories are undermining safe and effective vaccines. I remember as a kid, kids older than me, in school with me, who got polio."
"Mr. Secretary, kids have died because measles is running rampant under your watch, in large part because President Trump allowed your conspiracy theories to run our public health."
"Americans need serious leadership grounded in evidence and science. Instead, we have you and this president elevating misinformation and undermining basic public health."
Rep. Mike Thompson confronted Robert Kennedy Jr. during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, questioning his qualifications and accusing him of promoting dangerous conspiracy theories. Thompson emphasized the importance of vaccines, recalling his own experience with polio and the vaccine's role in preventing the disease. He highlighted a significant increase in measles cases in California, attributing it to Kennedy's influence and the Trump administration's misinformation. Thompson called for leadership based on science and evidence, criticizing the current approach to public health.
