Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Vaccination Comments Spark Debate Washington D.C. - A recent House Oversight Committee hearing featured an exchange between Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who serves as Health and Human Services Secretary, regarding childhood vaccinations. The discussion centered on whether Kennedy would vaccinate his own children against measles and chickenpox. Kennedy's response was nuanced.
