What happens when a physician does harm (Spineless Louisiana GOP Sen. BIll Cassidy M.D. edition)


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 values his personal political survival over public health. 
 
On February 21, 2021, Cassidy voted to convict Trump on a single article of impeachment, and he's been hoping for an endorsement at the altar of Trump every since.

Ain't gonna happen.  Especially now.

Gary Sernovitz sums it up in his opening paragraph:
On Saturday, we’ll get some data on how yet another Trump Tragedy will end. Recent polls put Bill Cassidy, the senator from Louisiana, in third place heading into the first round of the Republican primary here. It’s his first competitive race in a dozen years and the culmination of a zigzag of events that had him standing up to President Trump, kissing up to Mr. Trump, being tossed aside by Mr. Trump, gaining no political advantage in any direction along the way, and undermining not just his positions as a politician but also — in what makes this tragedy more raw than most — his greatest accomplishments as a physician[emphasis added]
