Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, argued that “from abortion to universal health care, Mr. Kennedy has changed his views so often it’s nearly impossible to know where he stands.”Senators wanted to know: Where does Kennedy stand on vaccines now? “Most experts agree that COVID vaccines are safe and effective for children," Dr. James Campbell of the American Academy of Pediatrics said after hearing Kennedy's remark."There is no reason that any of us should believe that you have reversed the anti-vaccine views that you have promoted for 25 years,” she said.Kennedy's nomination has been met with criticism from both abortion rights advocates and anti-abortion forces as his stance seemed to have shifted.

Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, questioned Kennedy’s shifting views on abortion by quoting his previous statements that abortion should be left up to the pregnant woman, not the government. “We need to heal and unify this divided nation,” Johnson said. “Can’t we come together as a nation and do this?”Again and again on Wednesday, Kennedy suggested he simply wants to do more research on vaccines, drugs and other products that have already been vigorously studied by government and independent scientists.The FDA approved the drug in 2000 after a four-year review and has repeatedly reaffirmed its safety after reviewing dozens of studies in tens of thousands of women.
