Dr. Bill is chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). He voted to confirm RFKjr as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He should have known better but couldn't find his spine.

Amanda Seitz reminds us how Dr. Bill got snookered:
Offit worries that the cancellation of the FDA’s flu vaccine meeting, held every March for at least 30 years, is just the beginning. The committee's June meeting to recommend the COVID-19 vaccine's formulation has also not been scheduled, he said.
Democrats and Republicans pushed back when Dr. Marty Makary, the FDA nominee, wouldn’t commit to rescheduling the committee's flu meeting .
“What is lost is the transparency,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana Republican who chairs the Senate health committee who is also a physician.
During his senate confirmation hearings earlier this year, Kennedy repeatedly rejected any notion that he would undermine vaccines. “I support vaccines. I support the childhood schedule,” he said. He promised Cassidy, who was unsettled about Kennedy's anti-vaccine advocacy work, that he would not change existing vaccine recommendations. [emphasis added]
RFKjr lied to Dr. Bill.
And Dr. Bill chose to preserve his political future over saving lives. Unconscionable!
