"When I see all these senators trying to lecture and ‘gotcha’ Bobby Kennedy today all I can think is: You all support off-label, untested, and irreversible hormonal ‘therapies’ for children, mutilating our kids and enriching big pharma," Vance wrote in an X post. "You're full of s*** and everyone knows it."

Secretary Kennedy reposted the Vice President, writing "Thank you @JDVance. You put your finger squarely on the preeminent problem."

Kennedy touted his department’s work, saying it has been "the busiest, most proactive administration in HHS history." 

In six months, he said HHS has tackled issues ranging from food and baby formula contamination to drinking water safety, drug prices, e-cigarettes, heroin at gas stations, and prior authorization delays.

"We're ending gain of function research, child mutilation and reducing animal testing," Kennedy said. "We are addressing cellphone use in schools, excessive screen time for youth, lack of nutrition education in our medical schools, sickle cell anemia, hepatitis C, the East Palestine chemical spill, and many, many others. At FDA, we are now on track to approve more drugs this year than at any time in history."
