The takeaways after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced questions from senators during his confirmation hearings to potentially lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Kennedy is the country's most well-known anti-vaccine activist, and could soon lead be Trump's top health official.

To watch Kennedy's confirmation hearing, viewers can look to the Senate Finance Committee website on Wednesday and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee website on Thursday. C-SPAN and a plethora of broadcast and cable media outlets will broadcast live what is likely to be a contentious confirmation hearing on television.

Kennedy’s penchant for embracing conspiracy theories threatens to erode trust in public health initiatives and reverse decades of progress in combating preventable diseases.
