Senators Probe Health Secretary RFK Jr.'s Samoa Testimony
Ron Wyden
— 23h
Senators Ron Wyden and Angela Alsobrooks are investigating whether Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. misled Congress when he said his 2019 Samoa trip had nothing to do with vaccines; a letter he sent Samoa’s prime minister before the trip reportedly discussed studying the MMR vaccine. They are seeking records from the anti-vaccine group Kennedy once led, while Kennedy and the Health Department have denied wrongdoing; critics have linked his visit to Samoa’s vaccine crisis before a measles outbreak killed 83 people.
