Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. refused to commit to supporting evidence-based vaccine policy from incoming CDC director Erica Schwartz during a Congressional hearing, suggesting he would continue interfering with federal vaccine recommendations. This comes as the Washington Post reported that the CDC has suppressed a scientifically vetted study showing the 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine reduced emergency visits by 50% and hospitalizations by 55%. Kennedy, who has no medical or public health background, previously ousted former CDC director Susan Monarez after she refused to rubber-stamp vaccine recommendations from his anti-vaccine advisors. Monarez lasted just 29 days in the role.
