Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is once again refusing to divulge his views on vaccination, and, with no trace of self-awareness, saying that people shouldnt seek medical advice from him.
Kennedy made the remarks at a House budget hearing Wednesday, in response to questions from Democratic Representative Mark Pocan, who sought Kennedys opinion given HHSs role in providing health recommendations to the public.
If you had a child today, would you vaccinate that child for measles? Pocan asked Kennedy. His response was not encouraging.
For measles? Um, probably for measles. What I would say is that my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant, Kennedy said, adding that Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, the head of the National Institutes of Health, would be better suited to answer questions about vaccinations, despite Bhattacharya having his own controversial medical views.
I dont want to seem like Im being evasive, Kennedy continued, speaking over Pocans attempt to clarify his question. I dont think people should be taking advice, medical advice, from me.

On ABC news this evening they showed a picture of Kennedy with his grandchildren playing in a bacteria filled as well as polluted creek where there is God only knows what. I was surprised ABC showed the picture.
