00:00Yeah.
00:01Senator, I want to ask, you mentioned vaccine hesitancy is one of your concerns.
00:02You mentioned vaccine skepticism in your opening remarks.
00:03Do you have any reaction to the Washington Post report that while these jobs are being
00:04cut from HHS, the Secretary has put David Geier, a vaccine skeptic, in charge of examining
00:05links between autism and vaccination?
00:20I am deeply concerned that this administration has consistently put in place people at critical
00:27agencies who are promoting vaccine hesitancy and promoting ideas that have been shown time
00:35and time again through numerous scientific research are not true.
00:39And what does that do?
00:40It puts the health and safety of people in this country at risk.
00:45And as we heard when we had hearings for some of these, when we spend all this money that
00:49we have on retesting things and redoing things, we are not putting our money into research
00:56that can actually show us the answers for some of the questions that they're raising.
01:00So yeah, I'm deeply concerned.
