WATCH: Sen. Warren asks RFK Jr. to resign during hearing on health policy - PBS NewsHour
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., questioned HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday in a hearing about Donald Trump’s health care agenda.
Kennedy appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance a day after more than 20 medical societies and organizations called for his resignation. They cited “repeated efforts to undermine science and public health,” most recently the firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez over vaccine science and the resulting resignations of other leaders at the organization.
During his tenure, the health secretary and former anti-vaccine advocate has narrowed long-standing U.S. vaccine recommendations. He’s also replaced a key panel of medical experts with his hand-picked candidates ahead of the start of the respiratory virus season in the United States. - Aired on 09/04/2025.
