​GOP senator who voted for RFK turns on him over panel stacked with vax-skeptics

Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana Republican who once backed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services secretary, is now calling to halt the rollout of what is becoming one of Kennedy’s most controversial moves.

Cassidy, who chairs the Senate health committee and is a physician himself, urged the Trump administration on Monday to postpone a meeting later this week of Kennedy’s newly appointed vaccine advisory panel, Bloomberg reported. The GOP lawmaker argued the panel is too small and lacks scientific credibility.
