What: The Atlantic looks at the role of Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a doctor from Louisiana, in allowing HHS Sec. Kennedy to wreak havoc on the nation’s vaccine infrastructure.

Key Line: “In the speech he gave on the Senate floor explaining his decision, Cassidy said that he’d vote to confirm Kennedy only because he had extracted a number of concessions from the nominee—chief among them that he would preserve, ‘without changes,’ the very CDC committee Kennedy overhauled this week… The senator has failed, undeniably and spectacularly.”
