Vaccine Divide in CDC Nominee Battle | US News
Description
The Senate is heating up over two top public health nominee hearings, with Dr. Erica Schwartz and Sean Kaufman facing tough questions about vaccine alignment with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Schwartz, a vaccine advocate with a strong track record, dodged key questions during her testimony, drawing criticism from Senator Bill Cassidy over lack of preparation. Kaufman, who’s backed by Kennedy, defended vaccines as public health tools while acknowledging complications for some post-COVID shots — and even praised the CDC workforce despite disagreeing with its past approach. Both nominees are navigating intense scrutiny as vaccine policy debates continue to shape public trust.
