RFK Jr.’s rejection of germ theory debunked in Senate hearing

At a Senate health committee hearing, Bernie Sanders pressed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his rejection of germ theory.

Bill Cassidy also pushed back, putting Kennedy’s fringe medical views on display in a high-profile setting.

The hearing highlighted Kennedy’s long-standing anti-science positions and his ties to the MAHA movement.

The exchange raised fresh concerns about science-based policymaking and public health leadership.
