You voted unanimously for RFK Junior and he perjured himself about not interfering with vaccine schedules. The flu vaccine is proven to save lives. This INACTION will KILL Americans especially seniors & people like me with compromised immune systems.

@msnbc more coverage please
This is great to see. Thank you Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen!
