Cassidy Demands 'Radical Honesty' from Trump Amid Measles Surge
Sen. Bill Cassidy criticized President Trump for labeling the MMR vaccine 'lethal' without evidence, urging 'radical honesty' as U.S. measles cases hit a 30-year high. Cassidy challenged FDA nominee Heidi Overton to reject these claims during her confirmation hearing, contrasting her with surgeon general nominee Nicole Saphier, who affirmed vaccine safety. The dispute highlights tensions between the administration’s vaccine-skeptic messaging and medical experts warning of preventable deaths.
