A group of democratic senators examined several vaccine arguments during a round table, including the claim that vaccines cause autism, a few days before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Scheduled hearing to confirm later this week.
Although Kennedy’s name “should not” appear during the hearing, according to at least one of the health experts present at the discussion, his nomination was called for the next secretary of the Health and Human Services Division (HHS) often by the legislators who seek answers on how to fight the claims against vaccines and the so -called “disinformation”, including the vaccine arguments promoted by Kennedy in the past.
One claim that the senators asked public health experts in the roundtable was whether vaccines were causing autism, claiming that Kennedy had spoken publicly in interviews.
“This is something I hear concerns about that,” asked Senica Angela Alsobrooks, D-MD. “What, if any information, you can give us to help us get back against it?”

The panel doctors explained the lack of robust studies that prove this connection, emphasizing the wide width of studies that did not show the connections between vaccines and autism.
“Academic researchers, pediatricians, scientists took this concern seriously enough to spend tens of millions of dollars to answer the question,” said Dr. Paul Offit, a pediatrician with virology and immunology professionalism. “The more influence on your question of how to get this information out there, because honestly, when you are scared people, it’s hard to eliminate them.”
Offatt added that since there is no clear cause of autism, it makes it difficult to refuse to claim Kennedy and others. Dr. Joshua Sharfstein of Johns Hopkins pointed to the legislators on prominent medical authorities in the US, like National Academy of Sciences, As places, they can look for proof that vaccines do not cause autism.

Democratic group of MPs, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT. Democrats, Asked questions to the OI learned ways to deny other vaccine requirements, such as whether the vaccine manufacturers are immune to liability for vaccine injuries.
Experts emphasized the presence of a national compensation program for a vaccine injury that allows certain victims of the vaccine injury to receive a fee from the Government, but they suggested that if Kennedy compensates for the current system and open more companies to responsibility, it could potentially put in vaccine manufacturers out of work.
“Am I right for HHS secretary to have a certain discretionary right to remove vaccines from that list [and opening them up to civil litigation] If you would choose? “Senator Time Kaine, D-Va asked.” Because if this were the case, I would obviously worry -it would be one concern that I would have and the expensive questions I could ask people nominated for positions within HHS. “

“Birds of the flu, if exploding, we will have to have confidence, especially in those people who should be vaccinated, that they can believe the Government when they say she is safe, I can believe the medical community and I am simply afraid of the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy,” Markey said .
“Goodbye to your smile and say hello to Polio,” said Senica Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. “This is a man who wants to prevent children from getting their polio and measles shots. He actually welcomes a return to Polio, a disease we almost eradicated.”
