Whoopi Goldberg Says RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Policies ‘Play Russian Roulette’ With Children

The View’s season premiere amplified mounting backlash following last week’s Senate grilling of the health secretary.

Overview

  • Goldberg opened the show by warning that the administration’s push to roll back vaccine mandates puts children and seniors at risk.
  • The panel tied their criticism to Kennedy’s recent Senate hearing and to calls from Democrats for his resignation over his CDC overhaul.
  • Joy Behar cited a personal experience of being told she needed a prescription for a Covid shot while traveling, highlighting reported access hurdles.
  • Hosts referenced reporting that the overhaul included firing hundreds of CDC staff, installing a vaccine‑skeptic advisory group, and canceling $500 million in mRNA contracts.
  • Alyssa Farah Griffin praised Operation Warp Speed, questioned Trump’s shift on vaccines, and suggested he keeps Kennedy in place because of the Kennedy name, while Goldberg urged viewers to rely on trusted medical providers.
