‘Don’t take medical advice from me’: US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior questions vaccination of his children

According to the report of the Reuters of the news agency, US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior told MPs on Wednesday that Americans should not “seek medical advice”. Kennedy defended the job cuts under the Trump administration and their controversial vaccine comments during its first presence before the Congress.Being a long-term critic of vaccines, Kennedy was grilled during the back-to-back hearing by both the House Application Committee and the Senate Help Committee. Their commentary came amidst a measles outbreak, with over 1,000 people infected and three deaths, most of which were unnatural.Asked if he would give measles vaccine to his children today, Kennedy replied, “Khasra? Perhaps for measles, I would say that my opinion about vaccines is irrelevant. I don’t think people do not think people advice, medical advice, me,”.The hearing was to review the proposed 2026 health budget of US President Donald Trump. Kennedy was confirmed in February and already fired 10,000 employees in major agencies including FDA and CDC. He has also supported $ 18 billion from the National Institute of Health and $ 3.6 billion from CDC, claiming that the change “will save taxpayers $ 1.8 billion per year.”Kennedy told the House Subcommitti, “Our deduction has focused on aligning HHS staffing levels to reflect the size of HHS before the Kovid -19 epidemic, which saw an increase of about 15% in the number of employees.”Democrats slammed the cut dangerously. Connecticut representative Roja Delero said, “When you squeeze baseless and dangerous vaccine doubt, lies and misinformation about people living with autism spreads.”At the Senate hearing, Kennedy again refused to support MMR JAB. “I am not just going to tell people that everything is safe and effective if I know there are issues,” he said.Asked if Elon Musk had influenced his decisions, Kennedy refused to take the order, but admitted that Musk had assisted in detecting fraud. “Elon Musk helped us try and find out where there was fraud and misuse in the department. But it was on me to make decisions,” he said.Republican Senator Bill Cassidi, who helped secure Kennedy’s confirmation, stated that American deserves clarity. “Americans require direct assurance from the administration from the administration that its improvement will make their lives easier, not difficult.”Members of the listener protested during the hearing, wearing a sticker wearing “when Bobby lies, children die” and chanting “RFK people kill people with AIDS” before being removed by the Capital Police.
