Robert F Kennedy Jr has faced a barrage of questions about his history of spreading anti-vaccine conspiracy theories during a contentious United States Senate hearing on his nomination to be President Donald Trump’s health secretary.
Kennedy, who has been picked to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), spent most of Wednesday’s hearing seeking to dispel the idea that he is “anti-vaccine”.
