#RFKJr, appearing on Thursday before a #Senate panel, offered a combative defense of his approach to #VaccinePolicy & his record as #Trump’s *#health* secretary, while actually blaming the #CDC for the number of #US deaths during the #Covid-19 #pandemic.“The people at CDC who oversaw that process, who put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are the people who will be leaving,” Kennedy said in his initial remarks.#PublicHealth #science #medicine #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation

The hearing also focused on #VaccinePolicy, with members of both parties grilling him on whether he misled them in his confirmation hearings in January.When #RFKJr appeared before the #Senate Finance Cmte in Jan, he repeatedlypromised to “do nothing as #HHS secretary that makes it difficult or discourages people from taking” #vaccines.#Trump #PublicHealth #science #medicine #ConspiracyTheories #disinformation #BrainWorm

Since then, #RFKJr has installed skeptics to guide #vaccine policy, restricted access to #Covid-19 #vaccines, canceled #grants & contracts for vaccine development & given a begrudging endorsement of the #measles vaccine.Senator #BillCassidy, Republican of Louisiana & a #physician who voted to confirm RFKJr on the condition he wouldn’t disrupt access to vaccines, said that Kennedy was in fact doing so through his actions as #health secretary.#Trump #PublicHealth #science #medicine

“We’re denying people #vaccines,” #BillCassidy said as he concluded his line of questioning.#RFKJr responded: “You’re wrong.”In an exchange w/ Mark Warner (D-VA), RFKJr said he DIDN’T EVEN KNOW how many people died of #Covid & whether the vaccines prevented Covid #deaths because “they didn’t have the data.”🤯In fact, hundreds of reports have tracked the efficacy of the vaccines, finding that the shots have saved millions of lives in the #US & elsewhere.#Trump #PublicHealth #medicine

@Nonilex I'm just say'n... Anthony Fauci would've known the data to answer these questions.In fact, I'll wager all my cash that he knows up-to-date figures _right f'ing now_.For the thousandth time... RFK Jr and friends are _not serious people_.They're grifters. They've always been grifters.

@Nonilex Of course he lied at the confirmation hearing. Everyone knew it then, but many voted for him anyway. The vote was 52-48, with every Republican except Mitch McConnell voting in favor. McConnell himself is a polio survivor and has, it seems, the decency to not wish that fate on anyone else. https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00052.htm

@Nonilex For Bob Kennedy, and unlike the AP, he thinks being an aggressive bully is defending himself and his record. Not lying, and being or doing something right or constructive don't enter into it.
