NEW: RFK Jr. is implementing crazy anti-vax policies that Trump's first surgeon general says will lead to deaths. Who deserves some of the blame for this? Dr. Bill Cassidy, a GOP senator. I write about this in the new issue of my OUR LAND newsletter. link.motherjones.com/public/41062...

Stop calling him a doctor. He clearly has no interest in the health of the country, only the health of his bank account and lifestyle.

I live in his district. I called his office several times and begged every person I spoke to to please have him reconsider his vote for RFK Junior. I was basically laughed at.

Great piece, and thank you for pointing out that he's not a vaccine skeptic, but an opponent. Up until now, I've only seen that said in this marvelous Defector article: defector.com/what-the-fuc...

Either he thought he could control him, which was a mistake, or he didn’t care. We all knew so it’s a sham to say he didn’t. No matter which, this gets laid on Cassidy’s doorstep. He failed the people in order to please the president. Collaborator.

Adams needs to publicly apologize for sitting on the sidelines while his boss minimized COVID-19 and pushed unproven treatments like hydroxychloroquine.

Cassidy literally vouched for RFK Jr. RFK Jr. broke several promises he gave Cassidy already. Cassidy is a Doctor which made his endorsement immensely worse. Cassidy cowardly caved and should have his medical license revoked or suspended.

To defend Cassidy, he wanted to stay elected by MAGA. That doctor stuff is in the rear view mirror.

Indeed. He should be stripped of his medical license for intent to commit harm. There’s literally zero way he didn’t know that fucking freak, Kennedy, was going to do this.

RFK Jr probably would have been confirmed anyway. Vance was always available to break a tie. But Cassidy's vote gave assurance to wavering GOP senators. If Dr. Sen. Cassidy was for him, how bad could he be?

I asked Google AI why RFK Jr's cancellation of the mRNA research was a good thing. The *only* support it could come up with was from HHS's statement about the cancellation.
