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!

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'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.

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.

But if the ACIP meeting gets indefinitely delayed, that affects the availability of the fall COVID-19 vaccine.

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.

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.’ 😤

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.
