Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blasted CNN’s Dana Bash over the U.S. government’s COVID-19 response, saying, “All you know how to do is repeat things people told you.”
“I’ve actually read the science,” Kennedy said. “You’re repeating things like a parrot. All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say ‘trust the experts,’ that’s what you did during COVID. Now we know that Anthony Fauci , who was the ‘expert,’ was lying about everything,” Kennedy said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday.
Kennedy’s comments come after Bash pressed Kennedy on whether his public comments contribute to vaccine hesitancy, arguing that vaccines remain among “the most studied things out there in science.”
“The truth is that there is study after study after study. It’s one of the most studied things out there in science,” Bash said, suggesting Kennedy’s rhetoric undermines confidence in immunizations.

“Mask, social distancing, natural immunity, transmission from the vaccine, the source of COVID. He was lying, and you were punishing people for not trusting the experts, and now, you’re rolling out the ‘experts’ again to talk about something that you have no personal knowledge of,” Kennedy said.

The confrontation comes as Kennedy faces continued scrutiny over his vaccine policy approach , shaped by his long-standing skepticism about vaccines and his history litigating against vaccine manufacturers on behalf of patients claiming severe injury.
Kennedy maintained that not only is it Bash’s job to tell the truth to the American people, but to “maintain a posture of serious skepticism from government authority.”
