Buyer's remorse - Senator Cassidy wants to stop Bobby Brainworm's vaccine panel

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has shared his concerns about Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s picks for a vaccine advisory panel, arguing that the committee’s next meeting should be delayed until more members with relevant experience can be selected.

Earlier this month, Kennedy removed all 17 members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. He replaced them with eight new members, some of whom are known to be vaccine skeptics. The group is set to meet for the first time on Wednesday and Thursday.

Cassidy, a medical doctor, chairs the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. He was a vital vote in support of Kennedy’s confirmation as health secretary, who Cassidy said made several commitments — including not making any changes to the panel, which makes vaccine recommendations and outlines vaccination schedules for children.

“Although the appointees to ACIP have scientific credentials, many do not have significant experience studying microbiology, epidemiology or immunology,” Cassidy wrote on X on Monday night.

Come on, you know the best cure for cold feet is the good ol' AI-controlled blowtorch, along with a few bible verses. Suck it up, Billy boy, this is your moment of triumph, not a time to get all antsy.
