Physician governor urges Capitol Hill to block RFK Jr.'s confirmation: 'Our children's lives depend on it'

Questions over the likelihood of Kennedy's confirmation took a turn this week after GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy, the incoming chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, called out the potential future HHS Secretary for being "wrong" on the issue of vaccines.

The article from MSN discusses the opposition by Dr. Mandy Cohen, the Governor of North Carolina, to the potential confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the head of a new federal agency focused on vaccine safety. Dr. Cohen, a pediatrician, has publicly urged Capitol Hill to block Kennedy's confirmation, citing his controversial views on vaccines which she believes could endanger public health, particularly the lives of children. Kennedy, known for his skepticism towards vaccines, has been nominated by President Biden to lead this agency, a move that has sparked significant debate. Dr. Cohen argues that Kennedy's appointment would undermine trust in vaccines at a critical time when vaccination rates need to be maintained or increased to protect against diseases. She emphasizes the importance of having a leader who supports scientific consensus on vaccine safety and efficacy.
