Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acknowledged during a House budget hearing on Wednesday that he would “probably” vaccinate his child against measles if he had one today. The comment came in response to a direct question from Rep. Mark Pocan about whether he would choose to immunize his children for measles in the current climate. Kennedy, serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services, replied, “Probably, for measles.” However, he quickly added a disclaimer: “I think if I answer that question directly that it will seem like I’m giving advice to other people and I don’t want to be doing that.”
Kennedy clarified that he and his children have received vaccinations in the past. Despite this, he emphasized that his views on vaccines shouldn’t hold weight in the broader debate, stating, “My opinions about vaccines are irrelevant,” and insisting, “I don’t think people should be taking… medical advice from me.”
Rep. Pocan pushed back, arguing that giving guidance on such matters falls under Kennedy’s responsibility. “Because the CDC does give advice,” Pocan pointed out. In response, Kennedy explained that the role of his department is to ensure that the public receives clear and balanced information. “We’re just trying to lay out the pros and cons, the risks and benefits, accurately, as we understand them,” he said, emphasizing the importance of allowing individuals to decide for themselves.
When the discussion turned to whether he would also vaccinate against chickenpox and polio, Kennedy declined to give a definitive answer. He reiterated his position, saying once more, “I don’t want to give advice.”
Kennedy has drawn criticism for shifting between opposing vaccine mandates and expressing support for specific vaccines like the one for measles. He has also previously made the disproven claim that vaccines are linked to autism.

RFK would vaccinate his child for measles when he’s well aware and clearly stated that 1 in 31 children become autistic from the MMR? Really? Then he’s a meshugene.
Fear of the DS would have him say anything they want. Even Bill Gates didn’t vaccinate his children. Studies prove that the elite, wealthy and educated do not vaccinate their children. But at the same time they expect the masses to have their children vaccinated.
I love that you are grounded. What you’re saying is the hard truth…
Or, that it doesn’t cause autism.
Your comment is ridiculous. Vaccines CANNOT CAUSE AUTISM.IT DENIES THE VERY DEFINITION OF AUTISM TO SUGGEST THAT IT CAN BE CAUSED BY VACCINES. GOOGLE IT
So how come healthy children suddenly get autism after they’re vaxed?
Steve Kirsch: “WE CAN’T FIND AN AUTISTIC KID WHO WA UNVACCINATED!” “All these vaccines are causing harm to our kids. It’s not just the COVID vaccines.”
“You won’t find kids with ADD, with autoimmune disease, with PANDAS, PANS, with epilepsy. You just don’t find any of these chronic diseases in the Amish.” “The US government has been studying the Amish for decades, but there’s never been a report out to the public.” “After decades of studying the Amish, there’s no report because the report would be devastating to the narrative. It would show that the CDC has been harming the public for decades and saying nothing and burying all the data.”
Vaccines are a big risk; not taking them is a smaller risk.
