Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s political career has been a rollercoaster. His stance against vaccines, blaming them for causing autism, has garnered enemies on both sides of the aisle. Now, as he vies for the role of Health Secretary under President Donald Trump, he must sway moderate Republican senators and weather Democratic criticism. These Republican senators remain cryptic about their position on his confirmation. A Connecticut Democrat, Chris Murphy, expressed his discontent with being labeled ‘deranged’ in response to the criticism Kennedy has faced, hinting at the dire consequences of Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism. Truly, a ‘stinging remark’ if there ever was one.
