Bill Cassidy beginning to wonder if the wallet inspector is ever going to return

It goes to show you never can tell. You vote to put the country’s most prominent anti-vaccine activist, who has chosen specifically for his anti-vaccine activism, in charge of the Department of Health and Human Services and it turns out that his claims that he would not take actions against vaccination when he was trying to secure the nomination may not have been entirely honest:
The move by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention this week to walk back an assertion on its website that vaccines do not cause autism has spotlighted how Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s personal skepticism about vaccines is now shaping the nation’s public health policy.
It has also raised more questions about the decisions of key Republican senators who had been wary of confirming Mr. Kennedy to swallow their concerns early this year and support him.
The leading skeptic was Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a doctor and the chairman of the Senate’s health committee, who agonized over whether to cast the crucial vote to back Mr. Kennedy. He ultimately did so after outlining in a speech on the Senate floor a list of concessions he said he had secured from Mr. Kennedy, all aimed at limiting his ability to impose anti-vaccine views on the agency.
Nine months later, some of the most consequential promises that Mr. Cassidy said he had secured from Mr. Kennedy appear to have been breached or broken altogether.
“There is, as I have mentioned in the past, no fancy Latin term for the fallacy of “giving known liars the benefit of the doubt”, but it is in my view a much greater source of avoidable error in the world.”
Every person who gets sick and/or dies because of Kennedy’s war on vaccines hangs 100% on Bill Cassidy. The fact that he knew better just makes it worse.
