Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt). stole the show during today’s first U.S. Senate confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated for secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), when questions about Kennedy’s stance on vaccines turned into a referendum on onesies.
During the hearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Sanders questioned Kennedy, founder and former chairman of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), about onesies imprinted with “Unvaxxed, Unafraid” and “No Vax, No Problem” sold on the CHD website.
Sanders asked Kennedy, who resigned as CHD’s chairman in December 2024, if he would ask CHD to stop selling the onesies.
I’ve officially seen it all.

“I have no power over that organization. I’m not part of it. I resigned from the board,” Kennedy said, adding that while he supports vaccines, he also wants “good science.”
Mainstream media ran wild with the onesies, with headlines like “RFK Jr. and the case of the onesies.”
The exchange between Kennedy and Sanders was characteristic of the often contentious nature of the nearly four-hour hearing, during which Kennedy was also asked to discuss his views on the chronic disease epidemic, support for scientific research, abortion and other public health issues.
Kennedy called the chronic disease epidemic “an existential threat” to the U.S. and said President Donald Trump has made this issue a priority for his administration.
