Onesies

During a confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was nominated for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Senator Bernie Sanders went viral for his intense questioning about baby onesies linked to vaccine skepticism. Sanders, highlighting onesies from the Children's Health Defense website that bore anti-vaccine slogans like "Unvaxxed Unafraid" and "No Vax, No Problem," grilled Kennedy on whether he supported these garments. This moment became widely discussed and mocked online, with many viewing it as a bizarre or humorous episode in political discourse. Kennedy, who had previously been associated with the organization but had resigned, responded that he had no power over what it sold. The incident drew significant attention on social media, with posts on X (formerly Twitter) and various news outlets covering it as an example of political theater, showcasing the absurdity of focusing on baby clothing in a high-stakes political setting.
