congratulations to Bill Cassidy on his Fell For It Again award, hope he still has some room on the shelf with all the others

Reposted from Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD

Bill Cassidy (R) at RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearing:

“If confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) without changes”.

Today, RFK Jr. fired every single member of ACIP.

He was a relatively early Citizens United win, the Koch bros flooded Louisiana with money so he could replace Mary Landrieu, who had a powerful position on the energy committee, was a relentless champion for Louisiana, and basically voted like a Republican so what was the point?? But $$ talks

Thing is, and this is scarier, he’s not dumb and didn’t fall for anything. They took him into a back room, showed them enough of their plan that he was convinced they were likely to win in the end, and he caved so they wouldn’t kill him. It’s why everyone on Wall St. is kissing the ring too.

And I say this having been around these people for decades, having spoken to people in the security services and military, active duty and retired, and everything I’m hearing is that something big is planned for June that involves DoD, etc. It’s coming from all sources independently.

Unless we disrupt this soon, I’m afraid that many many many people are likely to die - tens of millions of Americans and millions of others around the world as our post war order collapses.

i don't think bill cassidy really had anyone doubt that this was going to happen, he just got bullied into accepting RFK despite knowing what a disaster he would be because the GOP will not tolerate one of their own being the vote that denies trump his nominee

he is as culpable as Kennedy

So uh... every other country in the world should close their borders with us because this place is about to become a bio-weapons factory made entirely of living carriers.

Cassidy was also eager to take the opportunity to remind us he's a spineless slug.

Cassidy should lose his medical license. I wouldn't want the quack treating me.

If Republicans cared about honor as they claimed we'd have at least one public seppuku by now

The montage for his FFIA Lifetime Achievement award celebration is going to be something else.
