Sen. Ron Wyden grills RFK Jr. on his stance on the measles and polio vaccines

Sen. Ron Wyden: “The nominee wrote a book saying that people had been misled into believing that measles is a deadly disease. He’s trying now to play down his role in Samoa. That’s not what the parents say. That’s not what Governor Green says. It’s time to make sure that we blow the whistle on actually what your views are, at least we’re starting.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: “Senator, I support the measles vaccine. I support the polio vaccine. I will do nothing as HHS secretary that makes it difficult or discourages people from taking either of those vaccines.”

Sen. Ron Wyden: “Anybody who believes that ought to look at the measles book you wrote saying parents have been misled into believing that measles is a deadly disease, that’s not true.”
