“It means very well. And it has little different ideas. I guarantee a lot of people at this table like RFK Jr., and I do it, but it has a different catch, and we want to listen to all these catch,” said the president.

“But I heard that he had succeeded very well today,” added Trump. “It is not your standard speech. I would say that, and it has to do with medical vaccines and vaccines. But if you look at what is going on in the world with health and look at this country also with regard to health, I like the fact that it is different.”

While testifying to the Senate of Finance Committee, Kennedy faced intense criticisms from Democratic Senators, notably Senator Ron Wyden, D-ear., Who accused Kennedy of having put children in the way of “damage” with his policies.

Wyden pressed Kennedy at the hearing, saying that he thought Kennedy had no “regrets” about a “fundamentally cruel” program.

“It is a question that children are endangered by reckless and repeated decisions to remove scientists and doctors and allow conspiracy theories to dictate the health policy of this country,” Wyden said at the end of his interrogation.

“I do not see any evidence that you have regrets about everything you have done or plans to change it. And my last comment is, I hope you tell the American people how many deaths for avoidable children are an acceptable sacrifice to adopt an agenda which, I think, is fundamentally cruel and defy common sense.”

Kennedy autized by noting the decades of Wyden in office while the rates of chronic diseases have increased significantly.

“Senator, you sit on this chair how long? Twenty, 25 years, while our children’s chronic disease went to 76%. And you haven’t said anything.

“You have never asked the question of why it happens. Why does it happen? Today, for the first time in 20 years, we learned that infant mortality has increased in our country. It is not because I came here. It is because of what happened during the Biden administration that we are going to end.”
