Some Questions For RFK In The Senate Today
Derek Hunter
Let me start by saying that I am generally a fan of what Robert Kennedy Jr. is trying to do over at the Department of Health and Human Services. As a recovering health policy guy, I know there is a lot of room for changes and streamlining over at HHS – a lot of boats that need to be rocked, and RFK is nothing if not a boat-rocker.
That being said, I agree with no one 100 percent of the time, not even myself. So there are a couple of things I’d like someone in the Senate to ask him about.
First, I do want to explore the topic I’m sure Democrats will attempt to hammer him on: vaccines.
I don’t know if traditional vaccines cause autism or anything else, but I do have friends who have children with autism and some swear by the idea that they do. I don’t argue with them, they know their children and their lives better than anyone else ever could, plus I doubt I could convince them of anything, were I so inclined. I am not, I just want the truth, whatever it may be.
RFK has long had ideas about vaccines and autism and I want him to be grilled to ensure that those thoughts are not the diving force behind whatever HHS discovers on the cause of autism. Actually, I don’t want his thoughts to play any role what so ever, I want the evidence to be all that matters. I have little reason to think it will be, but for anything to ever be believed on something so emotionally tinged, it has to be above skepticism. To be above that, he has to be challenged. Nothing will ever convince everyone, but a series of thoughtful questions and insisting on answers will go a long way toward getting the needed trust where it can go.
