Senator Bill Cassidy’s vote secured the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy jr. He’s now issued a brief statement faintly calling Kennedy’s destruction of vaccine research “unfortunate”

Tweet from Cassidy: It is unfortunate that the Secretary just canceled a half a billion worth of work, wasting the money which is already invested. He has also conceded to China an important technology needed to combat cancer and infectious disease. President Trump wants to Make America Healthy Again and Make America Great Again. This works against both of President Trump’s goals.

  2. Our elected officials are abdicating their responsibility to the Constitution. The oath of office is meaningless theater these days.

  3. He abdicated his responsibility as a physician when he voted for not a scientist or a physician or a healthcare practitioner of any kind. I’m not sure why he or anyone is surprised - Kennedy was clear from the onset that he is anti-science

  4. If only there had been some way to predict this or like ten million scientists and public health experts warning Cassidy of this very likely state of affairs!
