RFK Jr Faces Tough Questions Over Vaccine Policies. US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr defended his leadership in a fiery congressional hearing as lawmakers questioned his vaccine decisions and broader reforms. Over three hours, Democrats accused Kennedy of restricting access to vaccines and misleading the public, while some Republican senators also expressed concern. The hearing followed last week’s firing of the CDC director, Susan Monarez, in a clash over vaccine policies. Since taking charge of the Department of Health and Human Services in February, Kennedy’s decisions have alarmed experts including the dismissal of an independent vaccine advisory panel in June. Critics have raised concerns over the qualifications of his replacement members, some of whom are vaccine skeptics. Democrats pressed Kennedy on the turmoil at the CDC and whether his actions undermine public confidence in vaccines.
