        DENOUNCING IMMUNIZATION STANCE OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR.

  (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, last week RFK, Jr., upended the childhood 
immunization schedule, reducing the number of universally recommended 
vaccines without substantive input from relevant medical experts. One 
of the vaccines RFK, Jr., downgraded was the flu vaccine.
  The science is clear. This decision will hurt our children, our 
elderly, and our families. Science doesn't care about our feelings. 
Science doesn't care about our politics. Science is built on data, 
evidence, and facts.
  RFK, Jr., seems to think if he ignores the science, it will simply go 
away. It won't. His decision will mean fewer kids get vaccinated 
against preventable diseases. More children will get sick, and more 
children will have morbidity and mortality as a result.
  It is shameful. RFK, Jr., is absolutely unfit and should resign. 
Let's give our kids the healthy future they deserve.
