Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So, last November, while you were under consideration to become Secretary of Health and Human Services, Mr. Kennedy, you said, quote, if vaccines are working for somebody, I'm not going to take them away. No exceptions, no ifs, ands, or buts. You would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. Then last week you announced the covid 19 vaccine is no longer approved for healthy people under the age of 65. In announcing the change, you said the vaccine will be available

0:34

for anyone who wants it. Now, obviously, both things cannot be true at the same moment. So let's clear this up right now, Secretary Kennedy. Will you tell America that all adults and all children over six months of age are eligible to get a COVID booster at their local pharmacy today?

0:56

Anybody can get the booster.

0:58

I'm sorry?

0:59

Anybody can get it. Anybody.

1:01

So you're saying that is now the official rule of HHS. Anybody is eligible to get a booster by just walking into the pharmacy. It's not recommended for healthy people. No, no. If you don't recommend, then the consequence of that in many states is that you can't walk into a pharmacy and get one. It means insurance companies don't have to cover the $200 or so cost. As Senator Dr. Cassidy said, you are effectively denying people vaccines. We're not going to recommend a product for

1:35

which there's no clinical data for that indication. Is that what I should

1:39

be doing? What you should be doing is honoring your promise that you made when you were looking to get confirmed in this job.

1:46

You're going like this.

1:47

And that is, you promised that you would not take away vaccines from anyone who wanted them. You just changed the classification of the COVID vaccine.

1:59

I'm not taking them away from people, Senator.

2:01

It takes it away if you can't get it from your pharmacist.

2:05

Well, most Americans are going to be able to get it from their pharmacy for free. Most Americans will be able to get it from their pharmacy for free.

2:13

Well, the question is everyone who wants it. That was your promise, Mr. Kennedy, not mine.

2:17

I never promised that I was going to recommend products with which there is no indication. When you said... And I know you've taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator.

2:30

Did you hold up a big sign saying that you were lying when you said that? Because you are the one who said you would not take them away. Now Senator... I'm not taking them away from anything.

2:43

You want me to indicate a product for which there is no clinical data?

2:48

Is that what you want? Secretary Kennedy, you said you wouldn't, and now you did.

2:53

I'm not taking them away. Everybody can get access to them.

2:57

No, they can't walk into a pharmacy the way they could last month and get access.

3:03

It depends on the state. It depends on the

3:05

states a year ago. Everybody can go. Everybody can get it. Senator. So look, let's move on. You clearly are taking away vaccines. I've seen the list for what's coming up next and that is the agenda for the next CDC vaccine panel. And first up is ratifying your COVID actions. Second is hepatitis B is on the agenda. So should Americans expect you to take away

3:36

hepatitis vaccine access as well, even though you promised not to?

3:41

As I said, I'm not taking vaccines away from anybody.

3:44

Okay, same answer, right? You're just going to deny that when people can't get access that you're not taking it away. Then let me ask you, is that the same game you're going to play with me? You want me to recommend every product in the world? No, that is without any clinical trial data on your promises. Yeah, I promise to follow through on your promises.

4:05

Yeah, my promise was to give-

4:07

A month ago, we could get COVID vaccines by just walking to a pharmacy.

4:11

You can still get COVID vaccines, Senator.

4:13

You are taking that away.

4:14

No, you are still-

4:15

So let me ask you one more question, Senator Kerry Kennedy.

4:16

You can still get the COVID vaccines and Medicare will still pay for them and Medicaid will

4:21

still pay for them. Did you tell the head of the CDC that if she refused to sign off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule that she had to resign?

4:30

No, I told her that she had to resign because I asked her, are you a trustworthy person? And she said no. If you had an employee who told you they weren't trustworthy, would you ask them to resign, Senator?

4:47

So I'm sorry, but this is not what she has said publicly.

4:52

She has said she was told to believe the truth. Well, I'm not surprised about that.

4:55

So you're saying she's lying.

4:57

Yes. Every conversation I had with her, there were witnesses.

5:00

And let me get this straight. This is the same person that less than a month earlier, you stood next to her and described her as unimpeachable, and you had full confidence in her, and that you had full confidence in her scientific credentials. And in a month, she became a liar?

5:21

Yeah, you should ask her what changed. And by the way, a month ago, you were voting against her. Because you thought she was either incompetent, ineligible, or unsuited to the task.

5:33

I voted against her because I was afraid she was going to bend the knee to you and Donald Trump. And it looks like she didn't bend the knee, so you fired her. Look, you are putting America's babies health at risk, America's seniors health at risk, all Americans health at risk and you should America's seniors health at risk, all Americans health at risk and you should

5:50

resign.
