Health leaders across the U.S. have expressed concern over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s controversial Senate confirmation hearing on Jan. 30, where he was questioned by Maryland’s newly elected Democratic state senator, Angela Alsobrooks. During the hearing, Kennedy Jr. was asked to explain his past claims that Black people have stronger and “better” immune systems than white people and, therefore, should receive vaccines on a different schedule.
Health experts warn that Kennedy Jr.’s views on vaccination could have dangerous consequences, particularly for Black communities who are already under-vaccinated against viruses. This is especially concerning as he moves closer to potentially becoming the U.S. Secretary of Health.
