Cassidy pushes FDA nominee to rebuke Trump's measles vaccine claim
TL;DR Summary
Sen. Bill Cassidy urged the FDA's nomination for Heidi Overton to publicly reject Donald Trump’s claim that the measles vaccine is lethal, saying such statements are absurd and that Overton should be honest about vaccine safety if confirmed as head of the FDA. The Senate HELP Committee is set to review Overton’s nomination this week, with Cassidy contrasting this stance with vaccine-supportive testimony from other officials.
