Earlier, on February 3, ABC News reported that Democratic senators demanded that the politician recuse himself from making any decisions related to vaccines as a condition for his nomination to be approved.

During a Jan. 29 hearing, senators criticized the politician for his many false statements about vaccinations. According to Congressman Ron Wyden, Kennedy Jr. has made it his life's work to sow doubt and discourage parents from vaccinating their children.

On the same day, the daughter of the 35th President of the United States John F. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan and Australia Caroline Kennedy wrote an open letter in which she criticized her cousin and urged not to let him become the head of the Ministry of Health. She emphasized that Kennedy Jr. discouraged many parents from vaccinating their children, while he himself continues to vaccinate his own.
