RFK Jr Forced to Take Back His Words After Accusing Lawmaker of Accepting Millions From the Pharmaceutical Industry

  • On Tuesday, during a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Health and Human Services Department, criticized Representative Frank Pallone for neglecting Americans harmed by vaccines.
  • The dispute began after Kennedy dismissed the entire group of experts responsible for advising on vaccination guidelines, leading Pallone to question Kennedy’s approach to vaccine policy and call for greater openness with the public.
  • Kennedy claimed he had previously met Pallone 15 years ago when Pallone advocated for vaccine victims but now received $2 million from pharmaceutical companies, influencing his changed stance.
  • Kennedy alleged that Pallone had received $2 million in donations from pharmaceutical companies, more than anyone else on the committee, but he withdrew the statement after Rep. Diana DeGette challenged him.
  • The exchange highlighted tensions over vaccine oversight and pharmaceutical influence, with implications for public trust and ongoing scrutiny of HHS leadership decisions.
