RFK Jr accused of ‘reckless disregard for science and the truth’ in Senate hearing

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US health secretary, faced a Senate finance committee hearing where lawmakers questioned his remarks expressing vaccine skepticism, claims of politicization in the scientific community, and the ongoing turmoil at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Kennedy defended his leadership at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), stating that his focus would be on "unbiased, politics-free, transparent, evidence-based science in the public interest". However, the Democrats accused him of "reckless disregard for science and the truth" and demanded his resignation. The hearing lasted over three hours and was ostensibly about the Trump administration's healthcare agenda.
