BERNIE: "You're coming before this committee and you say you're pro-vaccine, and yet your organization is making money selling a child's product for to parents for $26 which casts fundamental doubt on the usefulness of vaccines."

I suspect the pharmaceutical companies aren't that interested in manufacturing older vaccines, and RFK is in their pockets. But the conspiracy theory part of my brain has escaped the dungeon, and is running naked down my brain's main street. Follow the money.
I'm not sure I buy this. A lot of the billionaires I hear interviewed seemed concerned about the fact that women are not having ENOUGH babies. Of course they mean White women, but any new disease outbreak is going to be no respecter of melanin. In fact, in the US it might end up killing MORE Whites
because Whites are the majority of the GOP voters and their identification with MAGA might keep them from listening to sound scientific advise on how to keep from getting whatever the disease was.
How absolutely predictable that RFK is making money off vax denial--he's basically marketing an "alternative" view like it's some kind of cool group to belong to. What an absolute turd.
We know this moron will be successfully nominated and when he gets in, he will immediately dismantle any vaccine program. As well as all government funded research into vaccines. RFKjr is an Anti Vaxer, no matter how much he lies about it during these senate hearings.
If the Republicans or any Democrats vote for this addled, unqualified fraud, they are showing they have no respect for the health and safety of the country and their families.
That in itself should scream disqualification. How can someone like him possibly be in charge of healthcare agencies in America. He has a huge responsibility.
He sound like he’s 99 on his deathbed. . . too many undiagnosed strokes and one away from lights out. Who in their right mind could think he is “fit” for the job? That and besides the fact he’s a complete moron.
I think fetterman has been kkkompromated by Donald. His wife was an undocumented immigrant when she arrived here at age 7. She of course is a US citizen now but Donald may be threatening fetterman.
RFK is NOT qualified to hold this position! He's a nut job. We Americans must have a medical professional in this post! I hope he doesn't get thru this approval process!
Since when has RFK Jr been pro-vaccine? Ever since he realized that being anti-vaccine would make a possibly substantial enough chunk of Congress refuse to approve him?
He has spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological condition in which the muscles that open and close his vocal cords spasm involuntarily, creating a strained or strangled quality to his speech.
Ask him if, like other federal employees, he is willing to be subject to random drug tests. I would really like to see him answer that question. @sanders.senate.gov
The same MO for all these horrendously inadequate and unqualified noms. Seems they all got the memo to not answer questions about “hypotheticals”. He is certainly giving a great big beautiful FU to the country with this gigantic clown car called his administration. Repubs will own this disaster. 🤦♀️
This guy does not even look healthy to be in this job for the next 4 years. He looks like he is high on meth all the time. Americans are really the dumbest on earth
I can’t get over the fact that I work for Medicaid and had to be qualified for this job and get a background check, yet RFK Junior has no medical experience, and doesn’t even really know what the job duties are for this position. If confirmed he would be my top boss.
Why does Bernie even ask the question? It's just an opportunity for him to back-pedal.
RFK Jr has made his anti-vax positions well known. That he started a group selling products based on the ideology is part of his grift.
His background on this should already disqualify him.
This is kind of dumb. It's like "hey McDonald's, you say your pro-healthy eating but you profit selling Big Macs.". It's small. But it is certainly the right senator bringing it up. It's like when Pelosi says she's against insider trading but to no shock, she dumped Nvidia last week. Hmmm
glad to see this. because Bernie was pretty friendly toward RFK Jr back in December, when he said he had good ideas. Maybe Bernie realized it is indeed Bobby Jr an not Senior who is sitting before him. An absolute disgrace to his father's name
RFK jr has some select good ideas on nutrition, mainly limited to items like food dye allotment in consumer products; I think this is all Bernie implied, and don’t think Bernie ever thought much for what he brought to the table as a whole.
Add it to the list of things these people say and then immediately disregard as soon as they have power. Truth is irrelevant to these people so there needs to be a new way to fight.
The vote will go the same way the last vote went. So this is just theatrics.
Waste of time. He will be confirmed, he already bent the knee.
Follow the money.
We will remember their names! - And call them out as the rightful recipients for the multiple complaints when hell arrives and people die because this fool is in it for the money and the fame... .
I love the “for $26.” He just had to add in how he’s making money off of this agenda, just like the antivaxers believe the pharma companies are lying to make money off of us. Hehehe
Go Bernie! Meanwhile, the onesies are still for sale as of this moment on the website of the Children’s Health Defense (for $25.99!) and RFK JR’s name and photo is still all over it as a “Founder.”
Yeah sure - Sanders wants to put up all this opposition now. I will remind every person here - after a Nazi salute was thrown, Sanders first vote was to confirm Trump's pick for SoS. He's already thrown his support to the Trump admin - he doesn't get to try to walk that back now.
If 'That organization' is using the word 'Onesie' in their product description on their sales website... it's Trademark Infringement. I believe Gerber owns it.
If only the truth mattered. Why was this nomination allowed to get to this point. There is so much on the record. They must think they have the votes. Hope I'm wrong. Everyday we see that they care nothing about us and will gladly see us die.

Oh? That's a shame. We're giving free money to folks that like blue.
Oh, did I say red? I meant to say blue.
Sorry, I misspoke. It was red.
Yeah, my favorite color is red.

But RFK Jr. eats roadkill. Yuk!
#BernieSanders
Are the GOP willing to sacrifice kids for power? 🤬

Everything Bernie said would happen is currently happening. Sigh.....This country really screwed up by not electing Bernie to be President.
RFK got a sympathetic pass on his years of drug use because he’s an addict, used heroin from ages 15 to 29.
He quit when arrested after overdosing on a flight from Minneapolis to Black Hills SD, pleaded guilty & received probation.

A serial abuser
But look very closely at the "we" part of this issue...
It doesn't help our cause to go after drug use. That's their tactic, and it's used on us.
Deflect. Deny. Lie.
