In an extraordinarily tense showdown on Thursday, senators of
both parties confronted Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
over his vaccine policies, his firing of the director of the
C.D.C., and the growing list of federal health officials who have
resigned in protest of his leadership.

Sheryl Gay Stolberg, who covers health policy for The Times,
explains what it was like in the room and describes what seems
like a turning point in the relationship between Congress and Mr.
Kennedy.

Guest: Sheryl Gay Stolberg, a correspondent
based in Washington covering health policy for The New York
Times.

Background reading:

A defiant Kennedy defended vaccine changes and the shake-up
at the C.D.C.

Some states said they would go their own way on vaccine
policy.

Will the C.D.C. survive?
