Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), a big fan of Kennedy and MAHA, is angling to replace Cassidy — a Kennedy nemesis — atop the influential Health Committee next year if Republicans retain control of the Senate…
Marshall founded a MAHA caucus to promote Kennedy’s push to combat chronic disease…
Under Cassidy, the panel never held votes on three Kennedy-backed nominees, and the impasse led to the withdrawal of all three nominations…
An OB/GYN before wading into politics, Marshall has criticized vaccine mandates and supported nutrition-forward health reforms, including a focus on chronic disease prevention. In a September hearing, Marshall endorsed Kennedy’s view that the hepatitis B vaccine is given to babies who don’t need it because their mothers don’t have the disease.

Cassidy defamed Weldon, a fellow doctor who still practices medicine and regularly vaccines his patients, as an ‘anti-vaxxer’ to distort his role as an advocate for concerned parents in the 90s. The withdrawal of his nomination was one of the highlight sore spots of Trump’s second term and the first of a series of a MAHA setbacks.

I pray Dr. Weldon gets another chance to serve and clear his name.
