Cassidy Condemns Kennedy's Vaccine Research Cut | JQJO

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-La.) criticized HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s cancellation of a $500 million mRNA vaccine research investment. Cassidy, who supported Kennedy's confirmation, expressed concern that this decision contradicts President Trump's goals and weakens the U.S.'s ability to combat future viral threats. Medical experts like former Surgeon General Jerome Adams and Dr. Michael Osterholm condemned the move, warning of potentially devastating consequences for public health. Cassidy previously secured assurances from Kennedy regarding vaccine safety, which now appear broken.
