RFK Jr. is grilled over vaccines as he pivots to chronic-disease reforms

During a three-hour House Ways & Means hearing, RFK Jr. faced Democrats who criticized his vaccine stance and handling of the measles outbreak, while he tried to shift the discussion to chronic disease and presented a plan to cut HHS funding by about $16 billion. A judge had previously blocked several of his vaccine-policy changes, and lawmakers debated vaccine safety and autism research as Kennedy pressed a broader health-reform agenda.
