President Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., appeared before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday for his confirmation hearing.
The proceedings quickly turned chaotic as Democrat Senators used the opportunity to grandstand and attack Kennedy over his past statements on vaccines and public health.
The hearing followed a tense session with the Senate Finance Committee, where RFK Jr. faced similar hostility.
Once again, Democrat Senators seized the moment to challenge Kennedy on his views, with Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) leading one of the most heated exchanges.
“I will be voting against your nomination… your views are dangerous to our country,” Alsobrooks declared, before confronting Kennedy over past comments regarding vaccine schedules for black Americans.
“You said the following, ‘We should not be giving black people the same vaccine schedule that is given to whites because their immune system is better than ours,’” she stated, pressing Kennedy on what alternative vaccine schedule he would recommend for her.
Kennedy, unfazed by the attack, responded, “Articles suggest that blacks need fewer antigens.”
Alsobrooks fired back, calling Kennedy’s statements “dangerous,” but he stood his ground. “It’s science,” he said. “This is published peer-reviewed studies.”
Watch
Beyond the vaccine controversy, Kennedy also addressed his longstanding concerns about corruption within the National Institutes of Health (NIH), accusing government scientists of prioritizing financial incentives over public health.

He reiterated his pledge to investigate the agency if confirmed, stating, “These agencies have been captured. They’re no longer serving the people—they’re serving the corporations that fund them.”
Kennedy pointed to issues such as gain-of-function research, rushed vaccine approvals, and suppression of alternative treatments as clear examples of government corruption.
He promised full transparency and accountability, vowing to expose conflicts of interest within public health institutions.
Democrats continued their attacks throughout the hearing, but Kennedy remained steadfast, defending his positions with research and historical evidence.
His supporters see him as a whistleblower challenging a powerful establishment, while the leftist media attempt to dismiss his claims as just “conspiracy theories.”
As the confirmation process moves forward, Kennedy’s fight against government corruption and his bold stance on public health policies will continue to be at the center of national debate.
RFK Jr. is not backing down.
