Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got into a heated exchange with Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth

Mass., questioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at his confirmation hearing and pressed him about influencing and profiting from lawsuits against vaccine makers if he served as secretary of health and human services.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) pressed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to commit to not enriching himself off lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers as health secretary and for four years after his tenure. “Kennedy could kill off access to vaccines and make millions of dollars while he does it,

You won't go to work for a drug company after you leave HHS, but you and I both know there's another way to make money,” Warren said.

Sen. Warren sent almost 200 questions to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on topics like vaccine misinformation, abortion access, and food regulation.

The exchange erupted when Warren asked Kennedy about his previous anti-vaccine statements, which he appeared to walk back during the hearing.

He wants to keep cashing in on lawsuits against drug makers, as his confirmation hearing for health secretary makes clear.

Mass., expresses her belief Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. could "bankrupt vaccine manufacturers" and make money off of that.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to the criticism that he would act like a "conspiracy theorist" as Secretary of Health and Human Services during his first day of confirmation hearing Wednesday with the Senate Finance Committee: SEN.

Mr. Kennedy appears to have most Republicans behind him as he seeks the job of health secretary, though he couldn’t escape his past stances on vaccines and abortion.
