DENOUNCING IMMUNIZATION STANCE OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026)] [House] [Page H911] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] DENOUNCING IMMUNIZATION STANCE OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR. (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, last week RFK, Jr., upended the childhood immunization schedule, reducing the number of universally recommended vaccines without substantive input from relevant medical experts. One of the vaccines RFK, Jr., downgraded was the flu vaccine. The science is clear. This decision will hurt our children, our elderly, and our families. Science doesn't care about our feelings. Science doesn't care about our politics. Science is built on data, evidence, and facts. RFK, Jr., seems to think if he ignores the science, it will simply go away. It won't. His decision will mean fewer kids get vaccinated against preventable diseases. More children will get sick, and more children will have morbidity and mortality as a result. It is shameful. RFK, Jr., is absolutely unfit and should resign. Let's give our kids the healthy future they deserve. ____________________
