Elizabeth Warren Predicts There Could Be ‘No Vaccines At All’ Under RFK Jr. After Tense Hearing Confrontation

 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) predicted a world where there are “no vaccines at all” under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. following their heated clash at a Senate hearing.

Warren joined The View on Thursday following her and Kennedy getting into a fiery clash over his past lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies. Kennedy and Warren clashed during his first Senate hearing this week, and Warren asked that he vow not be part of any lawsuits if he is confirmed as head of the Department of Health and Human Services, while he’s in office and for four years after that.

“Robert Kennedy has made a lot of money promoting these anti-vaxx ideas,” Warren told the hosts of The View.

The senator claimed that Kennedy’s position at HHS would give him the “tools in his toolbox” to progress certain lawsuits forward and cash in. Kennedy denied at his hearing that this is the case, though he also said he would not make any pledges to avoid suing pharmaceutical companies.

Warren claimed Kennedy would have “no oversight” if confirmed and predicted a future where “the rest of us could end up literally with no vaccines at all to give our children.”

Kennedy denied at his hearings that he would ban vaccines and argued he only wants more information available to the public. He also, however, raised eyebrows with some of his vaccine views, including refusing to say that certain vaccines do not cause autism until he studies widely available data himself.

“In other words, he will have all of these tools, just very quietly, with no oversight, because he’ll be the guy in charge, to undercut vaccines so that he can make more money in the future and the rest of us could end up literally with no vaccines at all to give to our children,” Warren said.

“My God,” Joy Behar said in horror.

“It’s despicable,” Sunny Hostin added.
