Monday night, the hours before the Senate Committee Tuesday voted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a Secretary of Health, Bill Cassidy was deciding what to do yet.
Cassidy, who worked for 30 years in public hospitals in Louisiana, is the vaccination lifestyle. After a young woman’s liver failure, after hectoring hepatitis b, he helped create a program that will help the doctor to help school children with free shots.
Kennedy, on the other hand, built on social media on social media, questioning the safety of vaccines, despite the many studies that prohibit the myth.
Now, Cassidy was the only GOP Senator of the Senate Financial Committee, whether Kennedy was proper work. Any republican republic of the panel could have had enough “no vote for the appointment of President Donald Trump to derave,” wild “about food, medicine and health related issues.
Cassidy said he asked: “Is it possible to collaborate Mr. Kennedy with the help of public health agencies?”

The Continuous Republican President Donald Trump defied President Donald Trump, in favor of a single article on the attack on January 6 of Capitol.
On Tuesday, Cassidy got what he needed to vote “Yes”. After talking with Kennedy several times the weekend and again in the morning, Cassidy reported that the social media platform X was “serious commitment” in Kennedy.
Among these promised, Kennedy will give advanced warning to Congress.
The administration and Kennedy focused on protecting the benefit of public health vaccination “and offering” support for collaboration work “, Cassidy said.

How did the physician and lifestyle defending Kennedy vote by Trump indicates the attachment to the Republican Party, experts say. And even though Cassidy can keep Kennedy at the check, there is much motivation that promises new administration to individual legislators.
“It’s completely different in Washington,” Sarah Isgur said, the Republican and now the Republic of the ABC news service served in the Trump Administration.
In the past, the legislators and members of the executive branches worked well to build a public service, the current administration has said that its focus is obliged through large changes, not to make friends or future work connections.

“New reports claimed that I am vaccinated or any industry. I am not. I’m safety,” Kennedy said last week.
Brad Woodhouse, director Liberal Defender Group protects our attention, said the fight was not over until the full vote of the Senate.
“All senators will have to weigh and we don’t give votes,” he said in a shortened statement after a vote.
Republicans have a majority of 53 seats, Kennedy loses three Republicans and still survives to break the vote to break the vote to connect to the link with JD Vance.
GOP SENS. Susan Collins of Maine, Kentucky Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell “No” is seen as a potential vote for the will of the administration to deal with other issues. McConnell, polio survival, has previously spoken on the value of a health secretary that supports medical consensus in vaccines.
Another potential swing button in North Carolina – has already announced that Kennedy had not assured that Kennedy did not control the disease control and prevention or national health institutes.
The Trump Administration has done it on CDC. Locks the release of the weekly publication of the agency. Morbidity and mortality Weekly Report – As part of a disruption of all public communications, to ensure that everything is released with Trump’s agenda.
“For one, think that it’s time to put an outreach. It’s time to go to someone,” said Tillis.
