CNN Host Defending "Vaccines" Stumped When Challenged by GOP Sen

Republican Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin stumped CNN host Kasie Hunt on Thursday after she defended vaccines for children and he asked if she knew the difference between the number of vaccines given to children in 1980 compared to 2025.

During a Senate Finance Committee hearing the same day, Democrats tore into Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because he questioned certain vaccines for children. Some called for his resignation. While discussing the hearing on “The Arena,” Hunt asked Mullin if he believes more children could get sick if they don’t follow the recommended vaccine regimen, adding that his state requires six different vaccines for kids to attend school.

Mullin responded by asking Hunt if she knew how many vaccines are administered to children “all the way through before they go to school, college.” Hunt said that Kennedy’s “answer would be about 76,” before adding that the HHS estimate is somewhat obscured.
