In a contentious budget hearing, Sen. Chris Murphy challenged Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his vaccine stance. Murphy accused Kennedy of previously misleading Congress and being anti-vaccine due to actions like canceling $12 billion in federal vaccine grants. Kennedy defended his record, denied the accusations, and insisted he would not reduce vaccine funding. The debate highlighted Kennedy's controversial views on vaccines, including his statements made during interviews that contradict FDA standards, which Murphy claimed would delay vaccine approvals. The exchange underscores ongoing tensions over public health policies and vaccine safety debates.
When did I do that? Kennedy asked. Murphy is referring to $12 billion in grants being canceled in March.
Murphy continued laying into Kennedy over vaccines. You also promised Chairman Cassidy that the FDA would not change vaccine standards from quote, historical norms.
