Was Senator Cassidy involved agreeing with this? According to the Bloomberg report, Cassidy had purportedly had an agreement with RFK, Jr. that major changes not be made without Cassidy's involvement.
RFK, Jr. is a useless anti-vaxer whose biases and irrational positions far outweigh anything beneficial that he might accidentally enact through his boundless incompetence and grifting. He should be removed immediately from his position as HHS Secretary.

(4,186 posts)2. That is quite true, but I wonder if Cassidy was ever actually serious in his opposition. My guess is that he never...
...seriously opposed RFK, Jr. (His consideration of the matter was more like Senator Susan Collins being concerned about something.)
No self-respecting scientist or doctor (I would think) would even consider voting for Kennedy: he is that obviously a grifter, etc. Cassidy will likely have hurt more people with that vote of his for Kennedy than he has ever helped as a physician. On the basis of his assenting to allowing Kennedy to become HHS Secretary and all of the attendant harm that it will cause, he should lose his medical license: clearly, the Hippocratic Oath means nothing to him.
