I wish the hearing had been held before Kennedy started dismantling the nation’s public health infrastructure, not after.

His poor response to this situation shows that the pressures of being CDC director would have been too much.

I thought we were friends

I was looking forward to the hearing. I was surprised when Dr. Weldon’s nomination was withdrawn.

I spoke to @EDSecMcMahon and she made it clear this will not have an impact on @usedgov ability to carry out its statutory obligations. This action is aimed at fulfilling the admin's goal of addressing redundancy and inefficiency in the…

I think you need to define what is meant by ‘winding down.’ Returning control to the states and localities is, I think, technically, a good idea.

If we continue to plow the barren ground of something that has already been validated multiple times, that there is not a connection between vaccination and autism, we don’t have the money to go after the real thing.

A link between vaccines and autism has been exhaustively studied and would be a waste of NIH resources.

We need to make America healthy again, and it is my expectation that Secretary Kennedy will get this done.

Absolutely devastating news. Encouraging parents to make sure their child is up-to-date on their vaccines. The measles vaccine is safe and effective.

If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Advisory Committee on Immunization practices recommendations without changes.

It's been proven safe & effective since 1963.

Put it this way: She’s taking the direction from the president, not from her previous voting record.

Texans should get the measles vaccine that's been proven safe & effective since 1963.

He and I would have an unprecedentedly close collaborative working relationship

Mr. Kennedy and the administration committed that he and I would have an unprecedentedly close, collaborative working relationship if he is confirmed.

He will be the secretary, but I believe he will also be a partner

It’ll be very difficult for them to conduct this research. And so, of course, I want people in Louisiana to benefit from research dollars, and for it to not all go to Massachusetts and California.

Mr. Kennedy has been insistent that he just wants good science and to ensure safety. But on this topic, the science is good, the science is credible. Vaccines save lives. They are safe. They do not cause autism.

Your past undermining confidence in vaccines with unfounded or misleading arguments concerns me

We should focus on making America healthy again instead of straining our medical system and burdening American taxpayers.
