The hearing
Senator Bill Cassidy, a doctor who leads the health committee, began the hearing by asking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reject the theory that vaccines cause autism, a claim that has been proven false. However, Kennedy refused to completely deny the theory.
Cassidy told Robert F. Kennedy Jr., «It's no secret that I have some concerns about your past views on vaccines and other issues.»
Cassidy, from Louisiana, is seen as a key vote for Kennedy's confirmation as the Trump administration’s top health official. He shared a personal story with Kennedy about an 18-year-old woman whose liver was failing due to a hepatitis infection. Cassidy went on to say that it was the worst day of his medical career because he believed that £50 worth of vaccines could have prevented it all.
