Paul Offit lays out the disturbing facts with clarity and restraint, but perhaps too much restraint when it comes to Senator Cassidy. Cassidy didn’t just fail to stop RFK Jr. He enabled him. At every critical moment, he offered vague reassurances or posted toothless remarks on social media while Kennedy dismantled vaccine oversight, spread deadly misinformation, and replaced scientific experts with ideologues. This isn’t just about ineffectiveness or misplaced trust. Cassidy knew Kennedy’s history. He made a show of extracting promises, then looked the other way as every single one was broken. The road to this public health disaster wasn’t just paved with good intentions. It was paved with cowardice, complicity, and a refusal to confront a dangerous charlatan masquerading as a public servant.
