I project a McConnell no. People with polio know vaccines are necessary and life-saving.
Louisiana Senator Kennedy, a physician, seems justifiably skeptical, too.
But Republicans are constantly threatened with primaries and punishments, so there might be enough who cave to pressure.

I predict that Robert Kennedy Jr shall get 52 GOP votes and all of the Senators of the Democratic Party shall oppose him, just as most of them have done with many of the rest of these nominations the last 3 weeks.

I hope he wins, and if this article is true, this is the reason we need him. My question is why so late in the vaccine testing may have an RFK effect.

"An explosive new study conducted within the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) own laboratory has revealed excessively high levels of DNA contamination in Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine.

Tests conducted at the FDA’s White Oak Campus in Maryland found that residual DNA levels exceeded regulatory safety limits by 6 to 470 times."

I predict a vote along party lines with maybe Mitch as an exception. Regardless, JD Vance will break any tie and confirm RFK. Just as almost every other nominee has been.

Another pick who is the antithesis of the department's purpose.

The only thing we have to lose is the toxic chemicals in our food and high fructose corn syrup in sodas.

If the food is the problem, then put him in charge of the Department of Agriculture. Don't put the radically pro-choice guy in charge of Health and Human Services, the department has the has the most influence on abortion.

I know he tried to back away from his previous stances on abortion, but surely someone else can be chosen for the position who you don't have to worry about that with.
