Senator Bill Cassidy quoted the Book of Joshua while expressing his uncertainty about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Health and Human Services secretary. Despite previous criticisms of Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance, Cassidy appeared to be swayed by pressure from the GOP and the Trump administration. His internal struggle highlights a broader tension between scientific truths and political allegiance within the Republican party, particularly regarding vaccine policy and public health advocacy.
Joshua said to them, do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you are going to fight.
My responsibility is to learn-try and determine-if you can be trusted to support the best public health...or to undermine it.
Does a 70-year-old man...who spent decades criticizing vaccines...can he change his attitudes and approach now?
I've had very intense conversations with Bobby and the White House over the weekend and even this morning.
