Why does RFK, Jr think that nothing is going to get in his way now?
There is no telling with him…
RFK, Jr Thinks That Nothing Is Going to Get in His Way Now
But he is clearly wrong.
A new House and Senate are clearly going to be able to stop some of his anti-vaccine agenda.
Even if RFK, Jr doesn’t seem to understand what’s coming for him…
That’s not going to stop it.
Secretary RFK, Jr will be facing questions about his actions, or lack or action, before the:
Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee - addresses vaccine policy, CDC, ACIP, scientific research
House Energy and Commerce Committee - addresses HHS oversight, FDA, CDC, vaccines
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee - addresses HHS management, government accountability
Senate Finance Committee - addresses Medicare, Medicaid, drug pricing
House Ways and Means Committee - addresses Healthcare costs, Medicare and federal spending
And the Democratic leaders of these committees will not give him a free pass to continue to wreck havoc on our public health systems while measles outbreaks soar unchecked.
They will get in his way.
What else?
Through legislation, the new Congress can try to block, restrict, or reverse many of RFK Jr.'s changes to federal vaccine policy. That would require some bipartisan support to overcome a veto though.
They do have control over federal spending and Senate confirmation powers.
And again, they will get in Secretary RFK, Jr’s way.
