Cassidy says he has obtained the main vaccine obligations from RFK JR.

Senator Bill Cassidy said that he had received great concessions from the Trump administration about the safety of vaccines that led to his vote on Tuesday morning to enhance Robert Kennedy Junior’s nomination to lead the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services.

Cassidi voted with all the Republicans of the other financial committee on Tuesday to apply for Kennedy’s nomination to the ground.

Speaking in the Senate Hall, Cassidy said that Kennedy and the administration are two communications “seeking to reassure me regarding their commitment to protect the advantage of vaccination in public health.”

To this end, Cassidy said that the White House and Kennedy pledged to preserve a major federal council, work within existing vaccine safety systems, and give Cassidy inputs in HHS employment decisions.

“We expect to have a great business relationship to make America healthy again is the basis for my support,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy said that Kennedy was committed to appearing before the Senate Health Committee on a quarterly basis if he was requested. He also committed that the Chairman of the Health Committee may choose a representative in any council or committee formed to review the safety of the vaccine.

If confirmed, Cassidy said that HHS will make a 30 -day notice to the Health Committee if the agency is seeking changes to any programs to monitor the safety of federal vaccines.

Cassidy said the committee will have the option to call a hearing “for more review of obligations” if the guarantee is done.

Cassidy said that the administration also agreed not to remove data on the site of diseases control and prevention centers, indicating that vaccines do not cause autism.

Cassidy was the pivotal vote for Kennedy’s nomination. During a confirmation session last week, he said he had serious doubts about whether Kennedy, a vaccine activist for a long time, was qualified to lead the agency, primarily on his history in promoting a false link between vaccines and autism.

Cassidy spent more than 30 years as a digestive disease specialist before becoming political. He said on Thursday that he was “struggling” to vote, before he eventually voted to pay the nomination.
