Bernie Sanders Grills RFK Jr. Over Antivaccine Onesies During Senate Hearing

During a Senate hearing on his confirmation as Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intense scrutiny from Senator Bernie Sanders regarding baby onesies sold by Kennedy's former organization, which feature vaccine-skeptical slogans like 'Unvaxxed. Unafraid.' and 'No Vax, No Problem.' Sanders repeatedly pressed Kennedy on whether he would stop the sales, despite Kennedy's assertion that he no longer holds any power over the organization. Kennedy attempted to clarify his stance on vaccines, mentioning that while he acknowledges some vaccines are safe, he believes that no vaccine is universally safe for everyone. The tense exchange drew significant attention, with various senators, including Ron Wyden and Mark Warner, also challenging Kennedy's views on vaccines. Kennedy's defense included a rejection of accusations that he was promoting anti-vaccine sentiments, emphasizing his support for scientific integrity in vaccine discussions.
