Cassidy enabled this. He voted to confirm Brainworm Bob. Perhaps Cassidy should take some responsibility for his own action, admit he has failed the people of his state and country and resign from the Senate.

The senator said that the outbreak would be "a terrible legacy for this administration".
What he should have said was that it will be "a terrible legacy for this administration, myself and every other GOP member who has enabled the Trump agenda"

Pres Trump's nomination, and the subsequent Republican Senate confirmation, of Sec RFK Jr has turned the Dept of Health and Human Services into the Dept of Health and Human Sacrifices.

Don't you people recognize one of Trump's scams when you see it?
Cassidy didn't get too-soon-old-too-late-smart. This is surely a collusion between Trump and Cassidy to save Cassidy's GOP ass in Louisiana's midterms.
Trump can't afford to lose even one GOP senator. Hypocrisy is a small price to pay.

Who would intentionally craft a policy that will allow measles to return in great force? MAGA and Trump would do such a thing, that is who, and Cassidy has the heart of a self serving nincompoop.

Kennedy tells anti-vaccine activists they have a friend in Trump's White House apnews.com
... Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave the keynote address Thursday at a conference of an anti-vaccine activist group he once chaired, telling the hundreds in attendance that they had a friend in President Donald Trump's White House. It was Kennedy's first time appearing at the Children's Health Defense conference since he became secretary. Kennedy took leave from the group when he launched his bid to become president in 2023, but his speech Thursday served as a sort of homecoming, offering him a platform from which to hail the administration's steps to scale back vaccine guidance and reassure the activists in attendance that he was working to turn their priorities into policy. "Let me be clear: You have a strong and steadfast friend in the White House. We've accomplished in 19 months things that would have seemed unthinkable two years ago," he said. ...

"...the Children's Health Defense conference"
Much to the detriment of actual Children's Health.

Hard to believe they would confirm someone with absolutely no experience in the health industry, let alone a nut like RFK Jr. The only connection he has to the field is being a quack.

Agreed.
How many people unnecessarily have become sick or died under his policies?
Quite odd for a Sec HHS to be so proud of that.
