Vermont Sens. Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch have both continued their efforts and pressures calling on Health and Humans Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr to step down from his appointment for what they are calling vaccine misinformation and a destruction of public health.
“This is what happens when we have a Health and Human Services Secretary who undermines the importance of vaccines during a growing measles outbreak and the rise of a new COVID-19 strain,” wrote Peter Welch on X yesterday evening in response to an Associated Press article titled, “Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates.” Welch continued, “This isn’t making America healthy, it’s moving us toward a health crisis.”
AP says that Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the Florida Surgeon General, announced the state’s decision to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates on Wednesday, describing existing school and other mandates as “immoral” violations of personal rights that restrict parents’ ability to make healthcare choices for their children.
Tuesday morning Sept. 9 Sanders hosted a Live press conference with the American Public Health Association, Doctors for America, and the National Medical Association to “highlight the lifesaving importance of vaccines.”
“We are now witnessing a full blown war on science, public health, and on truth itself,” said Sanders at the joint press conference. “At this unprecedented moment in American history it is important to share the facts as clearly as we can. So I will take this opportunity to make a simple point, it could not be simpler…Vaccines work! Period.”
“We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories,” Senator Bernie Sanders wrote in an X post last week (4/4). “Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.”
To back up his statement he shared a study by Lancet that concludes that since 1974 vaccination has averted 154 million deaths, including 146 million among children younger than 5 years of whom 101 million were infants younger than 1 year.
“Despite all of the evidence, again, not only in the United States, from scientists and Doctors all over the world, we now have a Secretary of Health and Human Services, Secretary Kennedy, who continues to sow doubt about the efficacy of vaccines,” said Sanders.
Secretary Kennedy recently has pointed to emerging data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing rare instances of myocarditis and pericarditis linked to mRNA vaccines, with an incidence rate of approximately 1-5 cases per 100,000 doses, particularly among young males.
Back in April, Kennedy pledged to identify the causes of autism by September 2025, as announced during a cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump.
When asked by President Trump in August how this was going, Secretary Kennedy said “We’re finding interventions that are clearly, almost certainly, causing autism, and we’re going to be able to address those in September.”
Yesterday, President Donald Trump posted to his social media Platform, Truth Social, a video of what appears to be doctors and researchers explaining the dangers and side effects thiymersol, a mercury-containing compound that has been used as a preservative in multi-dose vials of some vaccines since the 1930s. They claim in the video that one of the side effects of thiymersol is neurological diseases amongst children, especially autism.
As shown on Trump’s post, the video showed the text “They’re ALL Poison, Every. Single. One.”
Many Vermonters saw last week’s clash between Senator Bernie Sanders and Robert Kennedy Jr in the Senate Finance Hearing on vaccines.
Following the clash, Robert Kennedy told Fox News, “I’ve come to realize those hearings are preformative theaters…. All of those senators are taking hundreds of thousands of dollars, including in some case millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry.”
Earlier this year, During a Senate confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as Health and Human Services Secretary on January 29,, Kennedy accused Senator Bernie Sanders of accepting $1.5 million from the pharmaceutical industry in 2020. ”So they don’t want to hear the answers to the questions they ask me,” finished RFK Jr.. “They want to make a little speech and then shut me down.”
A post by the Independent Medical Alliance claims that Sanders leads all senators in Big Pharma contributions, Welch also has accepted contributions totaling $176,917.

Proof RFK Jr is ‘over the target’ of corruption, kickbacks, revolving doors and self interest by politicians and Deep State; Bernie may not be able to get his 4th house. Sanders and Welch are ones that need to step down!
I’ve had it with politicians that are in the pocket of big pharma, and that voted to support Biden’s mandatory Covid Shots. They’ve all lost my support, permanently.
The MRNA technology is causing turbo cancers, myocarditis, blood clots, etc. It’s not my fault people can’t see it, or don’t want to. Trump was an idiot for warp speed, and I’m a Trump supporter, I don’t support all of his decisions, but alot make sense. The fact that they hid and are still hiding the info is what scares me, and makes me hesitant to EVER get another vaccine. I don’t trust doctors, scientists, veterinarians, vaccines, big pharma, government, etc. They did this to us, we just woke up and can see through the bull.
Bernie is not a doctor, although he is a great recipient of strange funds. Him, Welch, and Balant need to stay in there lane. Let parents make choices for the kids and families. Stop blowing our taxes on crap, and make Vermont great again.
I wonder if we could gat a legal separation from these two. They no longer represent me or others in this state.
No Dan, you can’t. Just as the TDS crowd can’t uninstall a president they detest.
Until you create real elections in VT, and enough Vermonters vote those two (three) out, as well as their House and Senate reps and Great Leader Scott, who perpetuate the scam, you’re stuck with your “representatives”. Maybe have a heart to heart with Paul Dame and let us know how that goes.
Step down Bernie !We want health not pocket lined big pharma politicians
The contents of a leaked memo from a BIO Vaccine Policy Steering Committee meeting held on April 3, 2025 (published at the Brownstone Institute on July 1 are probably relevant here. Biotechnology Innovation Organization is a lobbying firm whose membership includes Pfizer, Merck, Novavax, Vaxcyte, and hundreds of other biotech firms. They’ve committed $2 million—half of their cash reserve—to counter the “threat” posed by Kennedy’s moves. The memo states plainly: “It is time to go to The Hill and lobby that it is time for RFK Jr to go.”
Sounds like Welch and Sanders are digging their political graves….
We can only hope and vote against them, again
I support RFK!
Remember, GOVIE shut the Vermont state down and would not open up the economy until eighty percent of Vermonters took the COVID KILL SHOT. HEY HEY PFIZER PHIL, how many Vermonters did you kill??????? Comment from Richard Day.
Bernie is leaning so far left that he is insanely criminal..He calls Trump the most dangerous person in America when Sanders himself is the most dangerous…Old, irrelevant, and brain damaged from Democrat and Socialist infestation.
Thank God these two Communists have no power to make RFK Jr. do anything. They are just posing for all the stoopid people that vote for them.
Funny how the boogeyman of the day, week or month shifts so rapidly, but the script remains the same. They flip backwards and forwards with a new crisis, a new disease, a new enemy, a new Act of enormity – their performance art is the real threat against America. Their pie-holes runneth over as do their bank accounts simultanously just the same.
Hey Bernie and Peter, please explain how Congress and Senators get so filthy rich on salaries of $174,000 of taxpayer dimes? Could it be representing and legislating on behalf of “special interests” such as friends, relatives, associates, and donors? “U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was reported to have a net worth that could be as high as $30 million. The disclosure shows a substantial increase in her household wealth, which is largely tied to her husband’s business ventures. “
I couldn’t care any less about what those two old, useless, irrelevant pharma lapdogs have to say about RFK and I’m disgusted at having them as sitting US senators for VT.
We need to pressure them. Bernie, 22M over his Senatorial life.
I would strongly suggest that both Sanders and Welch step down and remove the roadblocks to the maturation of a truly Christian nation. These are evil people.
Sanders and Welch should resign! They are the ones who do not want science or health for the people!
