WHen Robert F. Kennedy JR. The first two days of confirmation sessions on Wednesday will not be just a great moment for the former environmental lawyer and the presidential candidate. This will also be a great event for the one -day -to -awitting movement, with Senators weighing one of the most prominent reinforcements to head the country’s best health agency.
Vaccine prevents tens of thousands of deaths and millions of illness every year, According to To the centers of control and prevention of diseases. Medical experts are concerned that these gains are at risk. The percentage of Americans who consider the important childhood vaccines has decreased in the past two decades.

For decades, Kennedy was one of the most well -known fans in the country, as he helped spread doubts about their safety in the face of contracts of medical data showing that they saved lives and improved public health. It also helped in legal efforts to destroy the states of the vaccine. After the measles of 2015 in Disneyland in Nahaim, California, it showed that a large number of injured patients had not been vaccinated, Kennedy helped press many efforts to close gaps in vaccine requirements. In 2019, Kennedy helped to spread the feelings of a toxic control in Samoa The Pacific Island was also in the midst of the deadly measles epidemic.
Kennedy will appear in front of the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday and the Health Committee on Thursday.

The defenders who undermined the general belief in the requirements of the childhood vaccine for decades have been welcoming themselves in the Republican Party, which was renewed by Donald Trump. They even got their ball last week during Trump’s opening celebrations. It was sponsored by the MAATAO opening ball, which uses the Make American Healthy abbreviation again, by Maha Action, and the Kennedy Political Labor Committee began last year after suspending his emerging presidential attempt and Trump’s support.
Del Bigtree, founder of the informed approval network that enhances allowing parents to withdraw from the requirements of the childhood vaccine, described the ball as a “amazing moment” during the broadcast of its display on the Internet.

In his testimony before the Senate’s hearing on Wednesday, Kennedy plans to say that he is not “hostile to the erasing or fighting industry” and that he is “a supporter of safety”, according to Bloomberg’s news. This is a sudden transformation from his years of general doubts and progress in the claim that was exposed that the measles vaccine is related to autism and the wrong idea that the polio vaccine is more deadly than polio itself.
