how does this affect getting roll out of updated vaccines

So he’s pretending to have a spine? We’ll see.

How was it not obvious that RFK Jr was a crackpot when Cassidy voted to confirm him? Cassidy simply caved to pressure from Trump without consideration for the impact on the health of the country. RFK Jr is a total crackpot, the last person who should be in charge at HHS. RFK Jr needs to be fired.

Bill Cassidy knew better from the beginning! He and senate GOP are responsible.

Wo are where we are because of “Doctor” Bill Cassidy’s lack of common sense. He must force the #SecretaryOfDeath out of office. If he cannot, he needs to resign from the Senate and stop calling himself a doctor. People are going to die because of Bill Cassidy, MD.

yeah well eff you cassidy now get all your compatriots together to impeach and remove jfk jr and then maybe you'll salvage something you sold out your soul for this

Shut up Bill. You were warned and didn’t give a fuck

You turned RFK jr. loose, Dr. Cassidy. You own it.

Commitments were made to secure RFK Jr's confirmation. www.cassidy.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Hey Cassidy, WTF is the holdup? You know you fucked up royally, and Americans will die if worm-brain is allowed to continue DO SOMETHING! Impeach the MFer!

He is too scared of the felon 47 to do anything

A weak dope with a troubled conscience. This is the very best we can expect from the current Republican party, and Cassidy sucks. All the rest are worse.

And if he is really disappointed, have him file the impeachment

There is nothing so contemptible as a Senator that says one thing and votes another. Thom Tillis is the worst. Bill Cassidy is second.

There are many more‼️😡

Susan Collins…

He did not do the right thing the first time. How do we trust he will do anything now. He is a bad as Murkowski and Collin’s.

That's weaksauce. Cassidy's medical license should be in danger. Our medical boards are so weak.

He voted for the fucker. Piss off Bill.

You made your bed, Sen. Cassidy and now you have to lie in it. History will NOT be kind to you.

Wow I wonder which schmuck cast the decisive vote in committee to confirm this guy.

4 male repubs in the senate who claim to be doctors of some variety including cassidy voted to confirm him, cassidy though had the ability to stop this confirmation while in committee, his approval was the sign to confirm him, they feared a mean tweet more than honoring their oath to do no harm

Everyone knows Cassidy will put on a show of concern and then after trump threatens him will do an about face and start to justify rfk’s nonsense…💩🤡🤡

That’s all? Seriously?

If only there had been some way of knowing that this might happen before Senator Cassidy voted to confirm Bob.

Eat shit, Cassidy. You voted for him so own it.

too late, idiot

What clowns.

Monarez - ordered by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to fire the entire leadership team and was instructed to endorse any recommendations that emerge from the meeting scheduled in a few weeks with the new Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. www.rawstory.com/cdc-firing-i...

Bought and paid for by nihilistic power grabbing partisanship. Let it hang around his neck like a millstone.

All of this destruction and chaos rfk is causing is directly Cassidy’s fault.

I hope the unnecessary deaths that will come from Kennedy's actions haunt this fucker for the rest of his life. And that whatever they promised him for despicably handing over his vote gets withheld.

He lacked legitimacy before Cassidy supported him. WITAF

He was so busy kissing Trump’s… he missed the gravity of what he was sanctioning with his vote! They all have ignored the greater good for a few bucks & a pat on the back or the threat of having bribes exposed-evidently🤷‍♀️ Americans need to clean house! In his case better late than never…

The only shot Bill Cassidy needs is hypodermic Democracy.

Finally

I can't help wondering, idly and not especially hopefully, whether RFK Jr. might be the one member of this pack of addled swine unpopular enough with The Base to provide cover for impeaching and convicting him.

Same thought, but appreciate poetic descrip 'pack of addled swine'

Too late, you already confirmed him.

Did anyone tell Bill that that turtle has left the barn? What I’d really like to know is why he thought RFKJ was in any way qualified to begin with.

oops?

bill gave him legitimacy

Well, how did that happen? Gee...it was like RFK jr. just magically appeared in this administration. Had no idea...

Then step up, Cassidy, and DO YOUR JOB. GET RID OF RFK, JR. He is unqualified for that job. He is ruining an incredibly important Department. Reminder: He ONLY got that job as payback from Trump for dropping out of the Presidential race in 2024. He is NOT qualified for that job in ANY WAY.

He's a physician who represents a state with one of the worst healthcare systems in America. Seems pretty obvious who's "lacking legitimacy".

Bill Cassidy did this

There is a remedy, impeachment and removal.

Or… we could just come together over the pedo-protecting, treason, and insider trading, and throw them all in the Potomac for a good bath. It’s begging to look like it will be necessary. 🧼

We're going to need a lot of cement shoes.

The ones who are ready to come to our Big Tent, we will give a good dunk to make clean. 🧼 The naughty ones get swirlies. 🚽 bsky.app/profile/sund...

Exactly.

Sen Bill Cassidy Voted for this. Coward

"Breaks" but exercising no power what's the freaking point?

who cares now! He should have voted no on his nomination!

A bit late, Cassidy. What's he going to do about it??

Anything else you can break on?

Wow. If he only knew Kennedy was lying to him during the confirmation hearing. Oh. Wait. WE TOLD HIM KENNEDY WAS LYING AT HIS CONFIRMATION.

Nope, nope nope! You caused this, you don't get to feel bad about it. STFU and own your shit!

See RFK Jr has a very public stance against vaccination, a very public belief that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, and so on, dumping a dead bear on Central Park, all that meant nothing to Cassidy. So he confirms him and then cries "lacking legitimacy" while illegitimacy was obviously there al along.

Senator Cassidy needs replaced....

Hey Sen. Bill Cassidy, One word! DUH!

took him long enough to say anything!

They fall for things so often there's almost no way they aren't compromised by some foreign agent at this point.

This is totally unacceptable, misinformed and malicious public policy. RFK must be dragged from office, kicking and screaming if necessary.

Lacking legitimacy. I thought that was a confession from Bill Cassidy, not a statement about RFK ….🤔

This fucker can try to run from his role in this but we are not forgetting.

Whatever you stupid credulous fuck

Too little too late.

But he went ahead and voted for that fuckwit knowing he is incompetent and utterly unqualified. Fucking idiots

Next thing he’s going to do is warm people about hurricane Katrina

What a revolting person. He went along with the nuts knowing full well better.

He should have never voted for him and deserves to lose his medical license.

He handed him a loaded gun. What did he think he was going to do?

Worthless pos.

Don't let him fool you he was the winning vote in this mess with Kennedy

Too little too late Cassidy

Thoughts and prayers

F*ck Sen. Bill Cassidy too. He is a MAGAt.

“Serious allegations have been made about the meeting agenda, membership and lack of scientific process being followed for the now announced September ACIP meeting,” Cassidy said… No shit.

His reputation is in tatters and cannot be redeemed. He should repudiate RFK, Jr. and ask for his resignation.

Demand. And start by hauling RFK into a Senate hearing & berating him.

A little late

healthpolicy-watch.news/us-health-se...

Isn’t rfkj a registered D? Why would any R side with him? Oh, maybe because he’s following Putin’s orders — just like they are.

You know what else lacks legitimacy? The doctor whose confirmationvote led us into this mess, Cassidy. His medical license should be revoked.

He still voted to confirm him. This is just as much his fault as well. I hope he cant sleep. And I hope the spirits of the dead haunt him eternally.

He doesn’t care. He’s got lobbyist money, power, perks, etc. GOP running the country and likely humanity off a cliff.

Unless he’s calling for his removal, He can pound sand

Answer your phone lazy.

Not an MD but I could tell the guy who spoke of brain worms and MADE A CAREER OUT OF BEING ANTI VAX/SCIENCE might be a bit of a problem.

Fuck you Bill.

How’s that First, do no harm stuff workin out? Such absolute utter bullshit from this guy. These so called leaders; just fucking gluttons for money & power & fucking the people who put them there. Absolute selfish fuckwads

Fuck him.

Too little, too late.

Okay...? Does that mean the senator is leading the charge to fire the insane maniac who is out of his ever-loving gourd?!? Senator Cassidy, it's your move now. Hurry UP.

It's a little too little, a little too late Mr. Cassidy. He was the last to confirm RFK jr. He did it with "trepidation" and now we're here.

F him. Loser

Who could have guessed?

ForWhateverReason.

A little late to the BBQ, there Billy boy.

A little too late! He supported his nomination. As a Doctor, he is complicit.

Too fucking late

Regret is difficult to swallow, but what the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) need to prepare themselves for is a reckoning administered by voters that will send them packing.

Wow, he should step aside with RKF Jr

Send a strong letter too! Be best!

Oh, you get it NOW Billy Boy? What took you so Fing long you loser?

He’s deeply concerned. smdh

From the Murkowski and Collins playbook...retroactive "concerns" that don't mean a damn thing.

Too late now, asshat

Eat a bag of farts dip shit. You did this. Suck it.

Is Cassidy talking about himself here?

Cassidy should resign

Spare me the pearl clutching- he owns this! And what is he going to do about getting rid of RFK JR as he had promised?

And all the rest who are all responsible for putting him in the position .

Day late and a dollar short, Cassidy

He cast the deciding vote for RFKJr’s confirmation after getting assurances that he wouldn’t do exactly what he is doing. It was obvious to anyone listening to the hearing that brain worm boy was lying but it gave Cassidy cover to go along with it. He should be leading the charge to fire RFKJr.

So do something about it Dr. Cassidy Apparently RFK Jr. is even worse than everyone thought, and everyone thought he had no qualifications at all. He is a public health risk and should be impeached. To hell with firing him or asking him to resign… Congress… get rid of him NOW! #ImpeachRFKjr

Too little, too late.

YOU DID THIS BILL. YOUR FAULT.

IF ONLY HE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING! IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD WARNED HIM!

With all due respect, Cassidy should get fucked, sideways, with a cactus. (That was all the respect due).

But he got personal assurances....

from liars

Fuuuuuuuck that morherfucker

And why are you reporting this? This individual will bow and kneel on the floor as soon as the orange one says something ....he won't break anything - he will be back in line in 3-2-1.....

If only other people had loudly warned this would happen…

better late than never start hearings to remove him - what is Sen. Cassidy waiting for?

It's too late baby it's just too late. You never should have confirmed him

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE

until he doesn't "break"... start the clock #GoP #sycophant #project2025 #REtrumpubliKKKnaziMagants yet another defender of the orange #pedophile

Cassidy do the right thing. Push for REMOVAL OF RFK JR. He is a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER to public health policy and the entire country.

Too late! He’s to blame

Okay, so what the fuck is he going to do to repair the damage?

Yet this man voted to confirm him.....such hypocrisy!

massive damage that could have been avoided if Senator Cassidy and other would have had an ounce of integrity/courage...

Oh, so you considered leatherface legit when you voted for him, eh? What a clown

Too little. Far too late. I wish these guys could have a conscience before they vote yes.

He made too much money off of his "yes" vote to have a conscious. Follow the money. He doesn't give a fuck about people dying due to the unqualified fuck making these decisions. As an MD he deserves to be stripped of his degrees and thrown in jail for the blood money given to confirm the prick!

He took an oath to do no harm. I'd say he's done plenty of harm with that yes vote. Im not even American, and I knew all this would happen if Kennedy got in. Pretty much everyone knew.

We must look so stupid to other countries. The majority of us really do want things to change back to, well anything else. We can't go back, we had issues, but we can't continue on this path. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road but, fuck, it affects everyone on the planet. Thank you.

Some of you do, yes. Not all of you. We sit up here wondering what on earth you are doing down there. Many will die under this current administration, even more than his first term. Jobs are being lost, and that can be squarely blamed on the fake tariffs. You're in deep trouble now.

Too late.

He's a traitor. Fuck his opinion, strip him of his degree and let him suffer with the rest of us

Maybe going along with a cult is bad.

It took him 7 months to realize that something about this administration lacks legitimacy? Gold star for this big boy!

Cassidy *gave* RJK Jr. legitimacy by voting to confirm him. Cassidy can fck right off, he owns the deaths RFK Jr. is causing.

We told him to vote NO. What a disingenuous ass hat.

Too late. He already shit all over his "do no harm" oath and oath of office after voting to confirm that serial mass-murdering, anti-science spewing, roadkill-eating catchers mitt

Cassidy is fully responsible for the lunacy of RFK Jr destroying public health agencies/policy and endangering all Americans. He needs to call an emergency oversight hearing and demand RFK Jr resign or be fired. GET LOUD everyone! FIRE RFK Jr.

Must suck for a Senator to be so stupid that he doesn't realize that it's vastly easier to keep a brain-damaged grifter out of a cabinet post than to remove him after the fact. Doubly stupid since this was 100% foreseeable. Another cult over country MAGAt. Hope he dies of a disease he enabled.

Hope he likes it when his face is carved into Mount YouDidThisToUs next to Lisa Murkowski’s.

Hey Doc! How’d the ‘let’s let things play out’ thingie work out?

He better do more than break with him!

It might have been helpful if he'd done this BEFORE HE VOTED TO CONFIRM HIM

Exactly! It’s not like RFK Jr. exhibited any qualities that would suggest he possessed even a modicum of legitimacy for role for which he was confirmed 😡

Nice time for him to wake up.

Not only did he vote for him, he convinced others to do so as well. He OWNS this. He chose to harm children for his own personal power.

So pathetic. Everyone with half a brain knew RFK Jr. was/is a tad bit nuts. He just figured it out?

If Trump wanted to protect the one tiny positive shred of his legacy, the Warp Speed COVID vaccine program he'd fire RFK Jr. (Of course Trump is too stupid to see that he's being duped by Bobby.)

He voted for him when he knew he was not qualified!

It’s on you, Cassidy! You knew who he is but you voted for him anyway. Your vote put him in charge of the health of all Americans! YOU KNEW!

Too little too late. Also that’s what she said.

Gee, if only he knew someone who could have prevented this or who could take all possible actions to remove him now. 🤔

So what does Trump have on him?

Fuck this asswipe

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???

He took the Hippocratic oath, and then turned his back on everything he was taught.

Sounds like he took the Hypocritical Oath instead.

You say that like he cared enough to think about this until it blew up in his face.

Too little, too late.

It appears that not a single person appointed by DJT to serve in his administration is competent. Why does the US Congress (looking at you GOP) sit on their asses and do nothing? DJT and the GOP as well as the MAGA voters are a waste of carbon. They are obsolete, useless, and need to be gone!

TO THOSE 37% W/TRUMP: WAKE THE FUCK UP. "MY GROCERIES AREN'T THAT HIGH", "MY HEALTH INSURANCE HASN'T GONE UP", "I HAVEN'T SEEN ICE IN MY STREETS"... IT'S GOING TO GET MUCH MUCH WORSE. GOOGLE SEARCH WHICH TRUMP POLICIES GO IN EFFECT IN 2026. IT'S A CON. VOTE Rs OUT NOW. YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.

What a big ass blowhard you are, senator.

Cassidy has blood on his hands as well. He could’ve stopped this madness.

Cassidy is registering in the mid to low zone on the Susan Collins Spectrum of Concern
