Secretary RFK, Jr has a lot to answer for, especially in his role as Secretary of HHS.
And with a new Congress being seated soon, we may get those answers.
10 Questions Congress Should Ask RFK Jr. — And Not Let Him Evade
At least we may get those answers if RFK, Jr doesn’t lie, as he has done many times in the past.
How many times?
Lots!
In fact, you may wonder if he ever tells the truth anymore.
And now it is finally time for him to either get him to tell the truth or formally reveal that he doesn’t know what he is talking about.
How?
These questions should help:
Do you believe that the MMR vaccine is safe?
While RFK, Jr has occasionally said that the MMR vaccine is effective, he has never actually said that it was safe. He has, instead, said that the measles vaccine causes deaths every year. It doesn’t, unless you count reports to VAERS.
How many people have died from measles under your leadership?
And why are you working to change the definition for measles deaths?
We have confirmed at least 11 measles associated deaths since 2025, including:
2 deaths in Texas (2025)
1 death in New Mexico (2025)
6 deaths in Pennsylvania (2026)
one death in New York (2026)
one death in Wisconsin (2026)
There was also a death from SSPE in 2025.
What responsibility will you accept if the United States loses measles-elimination status?
In addition to all the measles cases and outbreaks since RFK, Jr became Secretary of HHS, it is important to remember that he has been the most well-known anti-vaccine influencer on the planet for at least ten years. Also, will he take responsibility for what comes next - more measles?
What evidence did you have to change the childhood immunization schedule? Did you consult the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or Infectious Diseases Society of America before major vaccine-policy changes? Which recommendations from those organizations did you adopt?
Will you correct these statements you have made, since they have been shown to be not true, including that you:
said that a medical board ruling against David Geier was reversed. - It wasn’t.
blamed our measles outbreaks on immigrants, the COVID pandemic, or a global measles epidemic. - none of these things explain our record-breaking cases though.
said he is handling our measles outbreaks better than anyone else in the world. - This is obviously not true, as our cases continue to rise, and Canada and Mexico have gotten their larger outbreaks under control already.
said that only “kids in the Mississippi Delta, black kids, severely malnourished” used to die with measles, and then credited the creation of WIC in 1964 for decreasing measles deaths. - None of that was true! Deaths occurred all over the country before we had a vaccine and the first WIC site didn’t open until 1974!
said that he did not go to Samoa to talk about vaccines. - He repeatedly says this even though there is a lot of evidence that he did and that he “shared his views that vaccines are not safe” with the Health Minister.
said that no one wrote about measles when he was a kid. - In fact, measles epidemics and the associated deaths were big news and often made the front page of The New York Times and all the other papers.
A measles epidemic hit New York City in 1951 and made headlines in the New York Times. That’s not surprising, as there were 683 measles deaths in the United States that year. said that it is ‘very, very hard to kill a healthy child with any infectious disease, but particularly with measles.’ - Another ridiculous statement, as otherwise healthy, unvaccinated kids can easily die from these diseases.
said that the US had the highest COVID death count among developed countries. - We didn’t.
claimed that Mennonites have a religious objection to getting vaccinated. - They don’t. Neither do the Amish.
said that children get 90 doses of vaccines. - They don’t.
continues to say that vaccines are associated with autism and that he never knew any autistic kids when he was in school. And yet he never, ever mentions that state and federal education laws allowing autistic kids into school didn’t pass until the 1970s. That fact, plus diagnostic changes and increased screening better explain the increase in kids getting diagnosed with autism than vaccines.
Your anti-vaccine views were heavily influenced by Sarah Bridges, who blames a pertussis-containing vaccine with thimerosal (DPT) given at 4 months (led to a 90-minute seizure in 1993 and 40 hospitalizations for seizures by age 3) for causing her son to develop autism. Since Dravet syndrome causes hard-to-control seizures and has been associated with autism, do you know if her child was tested for this genetic condition?
How many career CDC vaccine experts have resigned, retired, been fired or reassigned since you became Secretary? How many of those positions have been filled? How many times have you overruled a recommendation from the career scientists at CDC, FDA or NIH that remain? What research and/or recommendations did he suppress and keep from reaching the public?
You have created a new federal effort to investigate health problems reported after vaccination. Will your Vaccine Injury Research Center actually investigate whether vaccination caused those conditions, or will temporal associations be treated as vaccine injuries?
What is going on with bird flu?
There was another bird flu death recently, and there has been a resurgence in dairy cattle, plus new outbreaks in poultry flocks recently.
Secretary Kennedy, what evidence would convince you that one or more of your longstanding beliefs about vaccines is wrong?
Like many anti-vaccine influencers, RFK, Jr is unlikely to change his mind based on any evidence you provide to him. His beliefs that the risks of vaccines outweigh the benefits and that vaccines are associated with autism have become central to his identity, and it would likely threaten his sense of purpose (identity-protective cognition) to reverse his positions now.
Wouldn’t you like answers to these questions from Secretary RFK, Jr?
Of course you would!
Will we get them?
Well, he has lied to Congress before, so I’m not sure that he will answer truthfully now, even if Democrats have taken control of the committees running the hearings.
What else?
You can be sure they will also be asking Secretary RFK, Jr about:
whether Kennedy retained any financial interest connected to a reported $50 million Gardasil litigation settlement
Hatch Act complaints and possible interference in Congressional elections
why COVID vaccines through Vaccines for Children were delayed?
what has happened to the health research infrastructure that was being used to fight diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes? Infrastructure that was cut and never restored?
why he gave a keynote address at an anti-vaccine group that he helped found and which continues to promote his anti-vaccine agenda?
the two book advances of $2 million apiece from Tony Lyons’ Skyhorse Publishing, which is responsible for many of the anti-vaccine books that influence parents. Of note, Tony Lyons is also president of the MAHA Center.
Tony Lyons gave Russell Brand a platform during his rape trial. Surprisingly, Brand continued to appear on his MAHA Action site even after he was convicted!
And his answers could very well get him impeached (simple majority vote in the House).
Unfortunately, they would likely not have the votes for a conviction (2/3 of senators) in the Senate and removal.
Still, it is well past time for RFK, Jr to go!
Lastly, they should ask him why it was so easy for him to undo all the great work that President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Ted Kennedy had done to get kids vaccinated and protected?

I do believe our representatives in Congress have the power to make Kennedy testify under oath. Then he can either tell the truth, commit perjury, or plead the Fifth. And if he decides to plead the 5th then I hope our representatives in Congress keep him up there long enough and pin him down on enough questions for him tonhabe to plead the 5th many more times than MAGA reps forced Dr. Fauci to. And also they need to nail him for lying about Samoa during his confirmation testimony.
