However, his relationship between the previous record that Kennedy did not trust the vaccine and his anti -vaccine movement was a great deal for the Democratic Party and a small Republican member. Elizabeth Warren, a member of the Massachusetts Democratic Senator, suggested that Kennedy could weaken the vaccine by changing the national vaccination schedule on Wednesday. In response, Kennedy states: “I support the vaccine. I support my childhood schedule.” I do that. The only thing I want is a good science. That’s it. “
Lisa Marcovsky of the Republican Senator Lisa Marcovsky and Susan Collins, the main state, emphasized the importance of the vaccine on Thursday and promised to promote Kennedy to promote them to promote them. 。 “You can’t retreat without a vaccine,” Murkowski said.
Senator Bill Cassidi, a member of the Republican Senator Louisiana, said at a hearing on Thursday that he was “struggling.” “As a doctor involved in the vaccination program, I have seen the benefits of vaccination. I know they will save their lives,” he said. “The past that is unfounded or misleading to confidence in the vaccine is related to me. Can you trust it in the past? Can data and information change your opinion? Or can you find only the data that supports the prescribed conclusion? “
The past was not so old. Kennedy’s claims to associate with autism and vaccine go back a few years ago, but like recently 2023, he said in an interview with Fox News that “I believe that autism has come from the vaccine.” I did it. However, many large -scale studies did not have a connection. With the appearance of a podcast of the same year, Kennedy said, “There is no safe and effective vaccine.”
Kennedy had previously questioned the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine and the safety of HPV shots, questioning the guidelines of the Disease Control Prevention Center on when children should be vaccinated. From 2015 to 2023, he spread the wrong information of the vaccine and served as a chairman of the child’s health defense of an activist organization who filed a lawsuit to challenge the vaccine.
Kennedy tried to walk around many of these controversial remarks this week and said that some of them were taken out of the context, but by Vermont’s independent Cassidi and Senator Barney Sanders. He repeatedly avoided the problem of whether to cause autism when grilled. Instead, Kennedy asked why CDC did not go anymore to investigate the cause of autism. “Why don’t you know the answer after a steady rise in the autism rate for 30 years? Why don’t we know the answer to it? We need to know the answer.”
In fact, researchers believe that there is no single cause of autism, but we believe that the combination of genetic factors and environmental factors such as pollutants and exposure to viral infections is functioning. 。 Increasing autism ratio is likely to be more recognized in recent neuro development disorders, and is more likely to be due to more tests.
For many Republican members of the Republican Party, the previous comments on Kennedy’s vaccine seemed to be a problem. Republican members in Kentucky and Senator Land Paul, an ophthalmologist, chose to not ask Kennedy on Thursday, and instead came to his defense. “The discussions over vaccines are very simplified and ridiculous, so we won’t actually reach the truth,” he said. “We don’t know the cause of autism, so we should be more humble in what we say.”
Oklahoma’s Mark Wayne Marine repeatedly said Paul’s emotions and said, “I don’t understand why my colleagues can’t question science.” Alabama’s Tommy Tuburville said his son and a daughter -in -law, “I did research on vaccines,” said his granddaughter said, “I won’t be a pinkin.”
From his confirmation hearing, they are Kennedy, which Americans have gained as HHS secretary, that is, the people’s trust in the vaccine, and openly support them. And despite his rational and chronic diseases, his confirmation may have a vaccine problem.
The Senate Finance Committee plans to vote about whether Kennedy’s nomination will be fully proceeding next week. This will make a final decision on his confirmation. If confirmed, Kennedy will lead a huge budget of $ 1.7 trillion, including CDC, Food and Pharmaceutical Bureau, National Institute of Health, Medicare and Medicade Service Center.
