RFK Jr. Refused Repeatedly to Acknowledge That Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism, Preying on the Fears of Parents and Families. Nomination is Now in Deep Jeopardy 

Washington D.C. — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified before the Senate HELP Committee today in a failed attempt to defend his anti-vaccine extremism and cover up his complete lack of qualifications to serve as HHS Secretary. His nomination is now in deep jeopardy. In response, Protect Our Care Executive Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:

“From Senator Cassidy’s first question where RFK Jr. refused to say vaccines do not cause autism through his total lack of knowledge of how the Medicare program works, his hearing in front of the HELP Committee was a disaster from start to finish. He spent hours lying and attempting to erase his history of anti-vaccine extremism and downplay his career built on pushing misinformation. He tried to defend his disproven position that vaccines cause autism and justify his comparison of the U.S. vaccine program to the Holocaust and pedophilia in the Catholic Church.

“During the hearing, RFK Jr. exposed himself as the liar, grifter, and conspiracy theorist he is and has always been. In addition to gaslighting each and every senator, RFK Jr. fumbled to explain the basics of Medicare and Medicaid — bedrock programs that provide millions and millions of Americans with health care. His answers were totally disqualifying, and his nomination is in serious jeopardy.”
