RFK Jr. says Trump 'certainly' wants him to investigate any link between autism and vaccines
- Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clashed with CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday during a heated interview, shouting and telling her, "You probably don't understand this because you're not a scientist."
- Bash challenged Kennedy on his anti-vaccination rhetoric, prompting him to accuse her of being "flustered." She replied, "I am not flustered," while citing the American Academy of Pediatrics statement regarding 5.6 million people.
- Kennedy criticized the administration's COVID response, claiming the lockdown "shut down 3.5 million businesses" without due process and asserting the U.S. ignored "doctors that were having no deaths from COVID."
- Rep. Sean Casten publicly criticized Kennedy, arguing Republicans erred by granting power to a man with no medical degree and warning, "If slow the deployment of vaccines... people will die."
- In January, the Health and Human Services department released a new childhood immunization schedule that reduced universally recommended vaccines from 17 to 11, cutting shots for COVID-19 and other communicable diseases.
