June 24, 2025

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it would be inaccurate that he vowed to Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., he would not change the panel on the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., accused Kennedy of lying to Cassidy and said she would hold Kennedy responsible for "every death from a vaccine-preventable illness."
