Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said he secured significant concessions from the Trump administration on vaccine safety that led to his vote Tuesday morning to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
Cassidy voted with all other Finance Committee Republicans on Tuesday to advance Kennedy’s nomination to the floor.
Speaking on the Senate floor, Cassidy said Kennedy and the administration reached out “seeking to reassure me regarding their commitment to protecting the public health benefit of vaccination.”
To that end, Cassidy said the White House and Kennedy pledged to maintain a key federal advisory board, to work within the established, existing vaccine safety systems, and to give Cassidy input on HHS hiring decisions.
“My expectation that we can have a great working relationship to make America healthy again is the basis of my support,” Cassidy said.

Let's hope he loses big in LA next year. I heard some well known names are looking at challenging him
He’s going down I hope.
He has burned a lot of bridges someone will step up and take that seat.
Yes vaccinations.
Not experimental gene therapies rushed though the approval process due to an “emergency” then wrongly sold to the US people as “vaccinations”
Aaah yes, good point
It all comes down to that definition.
Cassidy voted to impeach Trump. Nothing will save him.
We still need better communication with the public about the dangers present in all vaccinations.
I don’t think RFK, Jr. said anything that would directly contradict the “concession” that Cassidy got out of him.
Yeah the problem is the brainwashed for so long they accept Big Pharma’s propaganda at face value.
Critical thinking is rapidly becoming a lost art
So what’s the big deal? RFK isn’t anti-vax. He’s anti-UNSAFE vaxes. So Cassidy thinks he has a big win here? He’s just an attention whore wanting to be cajoled and courted.
Kennedy may have said some words to give Cassidy an out, an out he desperately needed.
