Louisiana Sen. Dr. Bill Cassidy abandons guiding medical principle: First, do no harm (chapter 6)

 
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.

Mark Ballard reports on the horrors that Dr. Bill has unleashed:
Cassidy, as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, was instrumental in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. winning confirmation as President Donald Trump’s secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. A doctor who passionately believes vaccinations save lives, Cassidy said he extracted promises from Kennedy, one of the nation’s most prominent vaccine skeptics, that access to vaccinations would be protected and that vaccine criticism would be downplayed.
The last couple of weeks raise questions about those promises.  [emphasis added]
 
Bill chose to preserve his political future over saving lives.  Unconscionable!
