  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. makes his first congressional appearance Wednesday as President Trump's pick to lead HHS. Follow STAT's live updates.

The article from STAT News discusses the contentious confirmation hearing of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a position on a health-related advisory committee. Kennedy, known for his controversial views on vaccines, climate change, and abortion, faced significant scrutiny.

He also expressed views against abortion, citing moral and ethical concerns, and questioned the mainstream narrative on climate change, suggesting it's part of a broader conspiracy. His statements provoked strong reactions from both supporters and critics, with many in the scientific and medical community expressing alarm over his potential influence on public health policy. The hearing highlighted the deep divisions in public health discourse, with Kennedy's nomination seen by some as an attempt to inject alternative viewpoints into official health policy discussions, while others view it as a dangerous endorsement of misinformation.
