Kennedy argued that the narrative pushed by Democratic senators distorts his actual stance. He stated that he is not anti-vaccine but rather pro-safety, and he has been misunderstood in the past. He pointed out that all his children are vaccinated, and he has never advocated for taking vaccines away from anyone. Kennedy's comments came in response to sharp questioning from Democratic senators who expressed concerns about his past statements and their potential impact on public health policy if he were confirmed.
