Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Social Services, faced more than three hours of questioning during a sub-comity hearing of the house which covered all shocking errors during his first adult health report to his total ignorance of federal proceedings against major health insurance companies. But one of the remarkable moments of the hearing occurred when Kennedy suggested that an exercise member of the Congress is only opposed to the actions of the Secretary of Health because he was bought and paid by large pharmaceutical companies.
Kennedy made his name as an anti-vaccine extremist and served the CDC, the NIH and the FDA of the best advisers who believe in vaccines, including the whole CDC Consultative Committee for Vaccination Practices (ACIP). Kennedy was questioned Tuesday by representative Frank Pallone, a Democrat from New Jersey, why he had avoided public comments on his drastic decisions concerning vaccines, and the Secretary of Health defended his actions by saying that there was already a committee that oversees these things. Pallone stressed that Kennedy had dismissed the committee.
Pallone: Regarding vaccines, are you just afraid to receive public comments on proposals? There was no public process
RFK JR: We have a public process to regulate vaccines. This is called the ACIPS Committee.
Pallone: You have drawn the committee!

But it was after Pallone time has officially expired that the real drama of the audience begins. The chairman of the committee went to a more favorable member to the Maha of Congress, the representative Neal Dunn, a Republican from Florida. And while Kennedy was starting to answer Dunn’s softball, he would quickly go to Pallone, an unusual decision that is generally not authorized under the rules.
Kennedy said Pallone had previously been a champion of people who had been injured by vaccines and had not changed his air until having received money from the pharmaceutical industry.
“If I can take a minute just to answer something that the Congress member Pallone said, and I will add to you, the member of the Pallone Congress,” said Kennedy. “Fifteen years ago, you and I met; you were at the time a champion, for people who had suffered vaccine injuries. You were very categorical about this, you were the main member of the Congress on this issue.”
Kennedy then went to the monetary part and the fireworks started.
“Since then, you have accepted $ 2 million to contributions pharmaceutical companies, more than any other member of this committee,” said Kennedy. “And your enthusiasm to support the old ACIPS committee, which was completely riveted and omnipresent with pharmaceutical conflicts, seems to be the result of these contributions.”
One of the colleagues of Congress Pallone opposed because Pallone apparently did not hear what was said about him. Once he was explained to the president that he was led by a member of the congress, Kennedy was invited to withdraw his declaration. Kennedy only did it with a sly smile.

There have been many other moments of the hearing that exceeded the jaw, because Kennedy often insisted that he does not really cut programs that he had actually cut. Other times, Kennedy defended the cuts with an incredibly bad logic. For example, representative Kennedy was questioned by Troy Carter de Louisiana on the reason why he had reduced the financing of studies on a HIV vaccine. The secretary had the cheek to insist that it was because a HIV vaccine had been promised for decades without results.
Carter: How could you justify the decision to terminate studies on HIV vaccines?
RFK JR: We promise a HIV vaccine since 1984 and each year, Congress pays money
Carter: Because they did not find one, you then cut the movement forward by getting rid of the NIH dollars?

Do you think this kind of logic would fly for other diseases like cancer? We have not yet healed cancer, so naturally, you should abandon the search for new treatments?
Legislators have often stressed that many cuts concerned programs approved by Congress, and he did not unilaterally decide to cut things that he did not like. But that is what he did, just as Elon Musk has often done as head of the so-called Ministry of Government Effectiveness (DOGE).
Representative Nanette Barragan, California Democrat, toasted Kennedy on her Alzheimer’s research cut. Kennedy insisted that he did not know any of these cuts and said on several occasions that he did not know if what Barragan said was true. Kennedy claimed ignorance about the things he should know throughout the audience.
The Secretary of Health is not qualified for his role and has written in a recent book that he believe in the theory of germsOne of the most fundamental things you have to accept to understand modern medicine. Instead, Kennedy believes in Miasma, or Bad Air, a theory that was the last popular in the 19th century.
Kennedy also made wild comments on his plans for each American to wear a portable device that can follow glucose. Trump’s choice for the general surgeon, who has not yet been confirmed by the Senate, has a company that sells a laptop that seems to adapt to Kennedy’s “vision” for health monitoring. Casey Means was appointed by Trump, apparently Kennedy’s suggestion, after questions were raised on the president’s first choice for the position, Janette Nesheiwat, and his references. Means a 37 -year -old holistic medicine doctor, Co -owner A company Called levels that sell products to monitor glucose levels. Consumers pay at least $ 200 for a One -year subscription at the levels.
People who are not diabetics do not need to constantly monitor their glucose levels, but means is convinced that it is one of the keys to health. And Kennedy clearly shares this point of view, because glucose was the first thing he mentioned during his testimony on Tuesday as something that must be monitored.
Kennedy’s call for each American to wear a health tracker is rather fun, given the theories of the right -wing conspiracy on how the government wants to follow you and poison your health. It was extremely common when the COVVI-19 vaccine was released to hear people insist so that they contained a micropuce that Bill Gates connects everyone to 5G wireless signals. These crackpots, unnecessary to say, are now some of Kennedy’s greatest defenders in the “Maha Movement”.
The Balderson representative interviewed Kennedy about intimacy and portable devices. But the secretary of health did not recognize the aspect of privacy, speaking rather of the way in which he Personally had friends who “changed their lives by wearing a glucose counter”.
“They have lost weight, they have lost their diabetes, and you see that happening again and again,” said Kennedy. “And it really has a miraculous impact on health in our country. It is $ 80 per month and we explore ways to ensure that these costs can be paid. ”
We do not know what Kennedy means by the way in which these costs can be paid, but it would obviously be a huge windfall for any business that makes glucose monitors if they were suddenly reimbursed by Medicare for people who did not really need to monitor their glucose.
“The Ozempic costs $ 1,300 per month. If you can do the same thing with a laptop of $ 80, it’s much better for the American people,” said Kennedy.

Kennedy’s first major report, published in May, Studies cited It just doesn’t exist. He peddles products that people don’t need, and he seems to have to launch a huge campaign next week for a product that his colleagues Cultists Maha could earn money. And there does not seem to be a railing to stop it all. Congress members can ask all the difficult questions they like. But as long as Trump is in power, the Maha movement will advance full speed.
