Cassidy backs CDC nominee after vaccine-autism page tweak
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Bill Cassidy says he now trusts Erica Schwartz to defend science after talks and after HHS made a “good faith” tweak to the CDC’s autism-vaccines page, though the page still hints at a possible link between vaccines and autism. Cassidy postponed the committee vote on Schwartz to next week amid CDC leadership turnover, while Kennedy Jr.’s directive to revise the page and a separate ASPR nomination also feature in the debate.
