A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

S. Res. 389 is a Senate resolution that condemns the anti-vaccine policies of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the State of Florida.

The text highlights historical health data showing vaccines have successfully eradicated or dramatically reduced dangerous illnesses like polio, smallpox, and measles. It criticizes the dismissal of members from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the removal of school immunization requirements. Finally, the measure affirms that vaccines must stay affordable, accessible, and grounded in unbiased scientific research.
