Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted not knowing how many people died of Covid-19, in a heated Senate hearing on Thursday (September 4) blaming the Biden administration.
RFK Jr. claimed the data was faulty despite the World Health Organisation tracking the global tally and national death tolls in real-time on its website, with figures showing 7.1 million reported deaths globally and 1.2 million in the U.S.
Kennedy told Sen. Mark Warner: “I don’t know how many died, I don’t think anybody knows, because there was so much data chaos coming out of the CDC."
Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this year instructing the CDC to stop working with the WHO, a United Nations Agency, accusing it of “mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic.”
