That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.
Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.
But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!
He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.

Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer.
Vaccinating at birth has reduced this by 99%

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.
