Bill Cassidy M.D. 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.
Headline: New York Times, 8/5/2025
Apoorva Mandavilli reports:
The new cancellations dismayed scientists, many of whom regard mRNA shots as the best option for protecting Americans in a pandemic.
“This is a bad day for science,” said Scott Hensley, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania who has been working to develop an mRNA vaccine against influenza.
First used during the Covid-19 pandemic by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, mRNA shots instruct the body to produce a fragment of a virus, which then sets off the body’s immune response.
Unlike traditional vaccines, which can take years to develop and test, mRNA shots can be made within months and quickly altered as the virus changes. The technology won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023.
But it has long been distrusted by vaccine skeptics, and Mr. Kennedy has been sharply critical, once calling Covid shots “the deadliest vaccine ever made.” [emphasis added]
Curiously, Cassidy is not mentioned here either.
