R obert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services (HHS) Director under the Trump Administration, told Congress on Wednesday that he believes people “shouldn’t be taking medical advice from [him]”.

RFK Jr. gave mixed messages on whether children should be vaccinated and defended a brutal series of budget cuts in a grilling by congressional Democrats.

Out of the three deaths in this outbreak, two of them have been of unvaccinated children. Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan asked Kennedy if he would vaccinate his own children today, to which Kennedy replied "probably" for measles, adding that "what I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant."
