A tense Senate hearing erupted as Sen. Maggie Hassan pressed President Donald Trump's CDC nominee over whether she would obey the law if asked to break it and whether she would halt flu vaccine promotion during a deadly season. When the nominee replied, "I don't speak in hypotheticals," Hassan shot back, "This isn't a hypothetical question." The exchange underscored growing concerns from Democratic lawmakers about political interference in public health decisions, vaccine policy, and the CDC's independence under the Trump administration. #MaggieHassan #CDC #TrumpNominee #FluVaccine #SenateHearing #DonaldTrump #PublicHealth #VaccinePolicy #HHS #USPolitics #BreakingNews #Congress #HealthPolicy #Politics #CDCNominee ► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.
