Republican Who Cast Key Vote for RFK Jr. Rages at His Vaccine Changes

The senator whose vote put conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in charge of Health and Human Services is furious that he’s altered the child vaccine schedule.

Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee chair Bill Cassidy, 68, gave Kennedy, 71, his support on the grounds that he wouldn’t interfere with immunization practices. Now he’s been left furious after the raw milk enthusiast ripped up the national pediatric vaccine schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It roadmaps routine shots for children and babies, but has now been replaced by a new version that no longer recommends immunization against rotavirus, influenza, meningococcal disease, or hepatitis A.
