  • 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 vaccine safety commission. During the hearing, Kennedy, known for his skepticism towards vaccines, faced intense scrutiny over his controversial views on vaccines, climate change, and abortion. He has been criticized for promoting conspiracy theories, including the debunked link between vaccines and autism, and for questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines. His comments on climate change, suggesting it might be a means for population control, and his stance on abortion, where he has expressed anti-abortion views, further fueled the controversy. Senators and public health experts expressed concerns about his potential to spread misinformation, which could undermine public health efforts. Despite his assurances of seeking common ground and his commitment to scientific inquiry, many remain skeptical about his ability to serve objectively on such a critical commission.
