On Cassidy and Futility

Bill Cassidy is a doctor. He has strong feelings about vaccines and public health. So when he was called upon to cast the deciding vote for RFK, he only capitulated on the basis of promises that RFK would keep him in the loop about vaccines and not do anything crazy.

How has that turned out? Naturally, RFK is doing everything he can to stack the deck against vaccines, including those that have been effective for decades. And what is Cassidy doing about it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He’s too afraid of the base to take action.
