Breaking: BILL CASSIDY is calling for CDC's vaccine advisers meeting to be postponed. "If the meeting proceeds, any recommendations made should be rejected as lacking legitimacy given the seriousness of the allegations and the current turmoil in CDC leadership."
Don't blame Bill Cassidy - who possibly could have predicted that RFK Jr. would impede vaccines?
Yeah, fuck Bill Cassidy. He knew exactly what he was doing in being the deciding vote to make this happen.
In the mean time school is starting along with cold and flu season. 😫
He should be calling for RFK jr head.
Or at least the worm it harbors.
Blah, blah, blah, he’s still guilty. He doesn’t get an absolution or even a fucking hall pass.
Bill Cassidy voted to confirm RFK Jr. knowing full well what was going to happen. Fuck him.
Bill Cassidy violated his Hippocratic Oath by voting for RFK jr. and should lose his medical licence.
You spelled hypocritical wrong
THIS all day long, dammit! Fuck "Dr." Cassidy. Yes, those are sarcasm quotes.
Das ist ein interessanter Twist, dass ein Arzt seine Hippokratischen Gebote missachtet, indem er für jemanden stimmt, der möglicherweise nicht die beste Wahl für die Gesundheit der Menschen ist. Glaubst du, das ist ein Zeichen für eine größere Problematik in der Politik?
Gee, if he had only voted NO on Kennedy. This is on him, and every other Republican senator. The vaccines are popular, and the Dems should be talking about this all the time.
Cassidy is firing real bullets. Duck, RFK!
No he isn’t. They’re blanks. He could have stopped it by not voting to confirm RFKJ in the first place but he’s a coward.
Imagine being a doctor who willfully signed off on mass murdering millions. His new name should be Dr. Death.
Didn’t he vote to confirm brainworm guy?
So much for oversight
I wonder if Cassidy is a graduate of the Susan Collins School of Hindsight?
He could have prevented all this. No matter what he does now, the blood's on his hands forever.
Cassidy could have stopped RFK's nomination. He is responsible for this mess.
The GOP is silent about the leadership of the CDC resigning. But why chance a Black Swan event? Are they willing to let the new crew manage a viral break out? The best outcome for the US is by far, fire Kennedy.
well, gee whizzo, Senator .. why do you sound surprised this is happening?
A start but not really a strategy. As it is, RFK is taking action WITHOUT the benefit of CDC/ACIP or FDA/VRBPAC advice. Good chance RFK is delighted to have ACIP "postponed." RFK needs to be subpoenaed & publicly humiliated. The House should start an impeachment process!
He should be calling a vote to have him removed. Fuck him
As chairman of the Senate committee with jurisdiction (and having disgraced himself by voting to confirm RFK Jr.), immediate investigative hearings on the CDC crisis should be a Bill Cassidy no-brainer.
You voted yes for RFK Jr. you ass.
He should’ve never been considered due to conflicts of interest. Do these people vet anyone?
If Bill Cassidy hadn't voted to confirm RFK, Jr.'s nomination, we wouldn't be in the public health shitshow we're in.
Welcome to the resistance, dipshit.
Gosh Bill, how would we have known this would happen? What a fucking mystery.
Bill Cassidy put the rubber stamp on this appointment. Shame on him. #donoharm physician.
It's Cassidy's fault in the first place. He knew this is exactly what would happen, and he pretended Kennedy's lies were believable.
The work of Putin, no doubt.
Like he didn’t know it’d be a shitshow when he voted to confirm the idiot. There’s a special place in Limbo for him to contemplate what he’s done.
I think the "Satan's asshole" level of Hell is more appropriate. After all, he is traitor to his oath.
All Cassidy had to do was vote no and Kennedy's appointment would have been blocked. But he voted yes and here we are. Don't let him forget his role in this disaster.
Bill Cassidy is a coward … He knew from the start that RFKJr. was unqualified and dangerous, but Cassidy didn’t have the courage to oppose his appointment.
Sorry, Bill. YOU OWN THIS. You didn't have the courage to do the obvious/correct thing when you had the chance. The stain from this will never, ever wash away. You have blood on your hands, Senator.
OOOOOOHHHHH, is he waking up!? Is he finally understanding the risk to all of us, including his family, matters more than Trump's balls?
Too late Senator. Damage done. The damage to the government, which you mostly wanted, didn't stop at your walls. Funny how that appeasement thing works out
Poor Bill, too little too late. You voted for this BS, Bill. Own it now.
Perhaps the best person to sort this out is not the easily-tricked senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr in the first place?
Bill Cassidy should have his medical license taken away for voting for this POS. Cassidy should be shunned by the medical community. That's the only way to get to these people. Make them feel left out.
Bill Cassidy needs to FIX THIS.
He caused this with his vote to approve RFK JR
That's why he's the one who had better actually DO something now. He's responsible.
He won’t. My state is as red as red can be. He wants to stay in DC. He expresses “concern” but panders to the poorly educated. This state abounds in that.
I'm so sorry. We really need this to be a better country.
Thank you. It makes me so sad. LA was a great place to grow up. I cannot not leave soon enough. But where to go?
Bill Cassidy has blood on his hands. He let the monster in!
He should be calling for the resignation of Kennedy
He should be commencing impeaching him.
I think Cassidy should commit seppuku on CSPAN
NOW A WARNING!
The post that came up just before this one on my feed was about how mistaken German Conservative Party leaders were in thinking they could control Hitler from the inside. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Thanks bill for voting to out this shit in place
Too late idiot!
Fuck Bill Cassidy forever.
And then some more.
And then more.
♾️♾️♾️
Fair.
hmm lemme look back and see, did this jagoff vote to confirm RFK jr? YUP, he sure did.
aka Fuck this guy.
Billy fell in line like the rest of the republicans . Secretly he knows he fucked up .
Holy shit???? Wow.
FYI: www.facebook.com/LAFamilies4V...
Impeach. Remove RFK.
Cassidy’s full statement The ACIP meeting next month is part of a process expected to lead to new, narrower CDC recommendations on who should have access to covid vaccines
When he voted yes I said that Cassidy will have blood on his hands. People will die and he could have prevented this.
I hope he never lives down capitulating to Kennedy’s nomination. He could have stopped some of this bullshit and he didn’t. His hands will be forever stained by the blood of any lives lost.
Imagine voting for the guy who was against vaccines thinking he wasn't going to go after vaccines, and then he went after them. Fucking clueless. At least he's trying to right a wrong, but he shouldn't have put himself into this position in the first place!
But but but he PROMISED HE WOULD CONSULT WITH CASSIDY
Cassidy is doing this just to perform for his country-club set. Trump's vizers will pull him back in line in less than a week. Republican = Gutless Coward.
I wish you were wrong. Alas… I’m afraid you are too right!
I'm not so sure. If Dems are smart and tie RFKJr to the GOP like a stone, they might end him. Republicans have kids with cancer, lots of them get vaccines, and they might not like this. This might not be the hill the GOP wants to die on. bsky.app/profile/mcbr...
It is not about convincing every Republican. It is about dividing their party. They can't afford it.
He wasn't clueless, he knew exactly the deal. HES SIMPLY A COWARD.
Yeah, okay, but maybe we should want him to rein in RFKJr. now. Right now. Dems should tie RFKJr like a rock to the GOP, and when and if he becomes a liability, the GOP will end him.
Maybe a bit of cartilage left in Bill Cassidy’s notochord? bsky.app/profile/ddia...
But if the ACIP meeting gets indefinitely delayed, that affects the availability of the fall COVID-19 vaccine.
Yup
Thank you!
Day late, dollar short.
10 billion short
This gif can correctly be posted in the blind in response to about 80% of news stories.
Cassidy owes an apology
Sen. Cassidy created the current crises at NIH and CDC when he was played by RFK Jr, That Kennedy lied came as no surprise to those who knew or followed him. However, Sen. Cassidy is showing some signs that he wants to make things right, which means making sure Kennedy is fired. Let's hope so.
He and about 20 colleagues could vote to impeach and remove him. I bet he won't.
If only someone could have done something to stop RFK Jr from being confirmed.
Cassidy, you coward. 🟨🐔 It isn’t “If this meeting proceeds…all recommendations should be rejected…” It should be ‘The meeting will NOT proceed and if it illegitimately does, all recommendations WILL BE REJECTED.’ 😤
Oh my, someone ate his Wheaties this morning
Honestly, Cassidy should have his license revoked because he violated his Hippocratic oath by voting to confirm Kennedy and to give him the power he's using to gut the CDC and NIH, which will endanger our entire population.
The rube. The absolute fucking moron. www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
Welcome to the party, pal.
Gee bill, who could have foreseen this outcome?
It’s his fault. He knew Kennedy was an incompetent nut job and voted for him anyway. 😒
Wish Cassidy would’ve had some way to know this might happen. Shoot
Senator Cassidy, like my Senators,Todd Young and Jim Banks is a coward. The slide into fascism is greased with cowardice!
Did a Republican just realize that the children of Republicans risk illness and death from RFK Jr’s insane actions no less than the children of Democrats? The Republicans in Congress have the power to end this insanity before massive tragedy hits #Cassidy #CDC #NIH
Vestigial spine cell regeneration?
I have no expectation that any regeneration will result in a complete spine. Cassidy is a medical doctor who voted to confirm Kennedy despite knowing full well that Kennedy is a dangerous nut job. Cassidy party-over-country'd us all bigly.
Dr. Bill trying to close the barn door after turning RFKjr loose. He could have prevented all of this. There will always be blood on Cassidy’s hands.
He now seems "concerned". Susan probably talked to him.
