Cassidy asked."
"Tapper's takeaway from the exchange was blunt. Dr. Cassidy, he lied to you! Tapper said. Cassidy criticized the message without commenting on the messenger. Let me say what is most important to the American people, speaking as a physician, vaccines are safe, Cassidy said. As has been pointed out, it's actually not disputed. It's actually quite well proven that vaccines are not associated with autism."
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. instructed the CDC to remove its statement that vaccines do not cause autism and the CDC revised its website language to question that claim. RFK Jr. had previously pledged to declare unequivocally that vaccines do not cause autism if peer-reviewed evidence supported that conclusion and to apologize for misleading statements. CNN's Jake Tapper pressed Sen. Bill Cassidy, a licensed physician who voted to confirm Kennedy as HHS Secretary, about Kennedy's reversal. Cassidy affirmed that vaccines are safe, called anti-vaccine views a fringe position, and cited measles deaths tied to nonvaccination.
