On Sunday, Senator James Lanford, Ra Okla, refused to say he had 100 % confidence in the Minister of Health Robert F. Kennedy Junior, instead that Kennedy did not “pass the wrong guidance” in the vaccines.
The comments come a few days after the Trump administration was launched, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which led to the exit from the senior officials of the Agency’s Disease Control Center.
When asked about the first time if he had 100 % confidence in Kennedy, who voted to confirm, Lancford cleared him, and told “NBC News” that he was “Meet the Press” that Kennedy does not limit access to the Covid vaccine.
“It is still widely acceptable,” Lanford said.
“The challenge is, is it appropriate for children to be able to get a coffee vaccine? This was a conversation in which doctors do not agree on a large scale on this,” before encouraging Americans to get their influenza vaccinations.
Lancford was asked for the second time if he had 100 % confidence in Kennedy, he told the director of “Meet The Press” Christine Wilker, “I think he was the one who chose the president. I don’t think he went to a wrong direction in this.”
Last week, NBC News reported that the former overthrow of Susan Monarerez to the Director of Diseases Control Susan Monares came after she refused to sign vaccine guidelines that contain vaccine debate points. Kennedy has been a long -term active.
Shortly after the launch of Monarerez, many senior officials of the Disease Control Center, including Dr. Dibra Horte, chief medical official; Dr. Demeter Daskalakis, Director of the National Center for Vaccination and respiratory diseases; Dr. Daniel Generangan, Director of the National Center for Emerging and Emerging Diseases; Dr. Jin Leiden, Director of the Public Health, Monitoring and Technology Data Office.
Since he took office earlier this year, Kennedy has already reshaped the best federal health agency for vaccines.
In June, Kennedy launched all 17 consultative vaccines at the Disease Control Center, and the Consulting Committee for Iris -Evidence, and replaced them with their own appointments. Soon after, the committee received a presentation from an anti -vaccine activist with demands that were widely exposed by scientists.
On Sunday, Lanquord claimed that Kennedy’s actions were just “pushing the border.”
“I think he is challenging some of the assumptions that many Americans asked,” said Senator. “What is going on around our food? What is around autism? What is different from all these things that differ in America from different places? I think these are appropriate questions.”
“[Kennedy is] Pay the borders, but it also seems to follow the science. It is not wrong to be able to ask difficult questions. It is wrong to ignore the science. I do not see him ignoring science. “I see him asking difficult questions,” said Senator Oklahoma.
He later explained that he does not believe that the theory that was widely exposed is that vaccines cause autism, and told Wilker, “I do not link these two at all, but there are reasonable questions to say, why do we have more autism here? What is this? But I do not think they are linked to vaccines.”
Lancford also spoke on Sunday about the decision of the Court of Appeal late on Friday that he concluded that President Donald Trump had offended the use of his authority to impose a comprehensive tariff on foreign countries without the approval of Congress.
Senator praised Trump’s work on definitions in recent months, saying that the president “is achieving” his economic goals with definitions.
“In order for the court to intervene and say it does not have the ability to be able to regulate trade – this is within the statute,” Lancford said, admitting that the Trump administration plans to appeal the Supreme Court decision.
He also blamed the court’s decisions such as this causing instability for retailers because they plan their imports and setting prices.
“What I hear, Christine, is more than anything else, from all the companies that I spoke to, is that they just want to be appointed. They only want to know the rules of the road,” Lanford said. “Every time there is a new hearing for the court, every time there is a new change, it shakes the stability of each of our actions. So let’s get all these things as quickly as possible.”
Senator also called for the federal reserve to remain independent of the whims of the executive authority, but he stressed that the federal reserve is part of a cooperative approach to the economy, along with the president and Congress.
“The president has a role, as he does definitions in multiple ways, to be able to negotiate more deals. The federal reserve also holds a role in this. So we all all have a role in it. We have only a different role,” Lanford said. “The federal reserve is at its best when it is independent, but they are not independent of the entire American people.”
Lanford also expressed his support for the President’s decision to send the National Guard forces and federal law enforcement to Washington, DC, earlier this month, in what Trump described as efforts to reduce crime.
Lanford said that cities and other judicial authorities, including in Oklahoma, his hometown, should call on federal law enforcement to help reduce crime rates in their cities as well.
“If the ruler of Oklahoma or mayors of the mayors in these different cities call him,” I would like to say that they will cooperate with the president and say, “hey, we can use assistance to be able to deal with any kind of crime cases.”
“I would like to say that people in Oklahoma welcomes any assistance we can be able to deal with criminal cases,” Lancford added, saying that other cities, such as Chicago, “should ask for help instead of paying help.”
