| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again. |
| 0:05.0 | So today, we're going to talk about RFK Jr., vaccines, and the GOP getting what they voted for. |
| 0:15.0 | U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who is also a doctor, had some things to say about |
| 0:23.0 | a Centers for Disease Control Advisory Committee voting to overturn a decades-long policy |
| 0:29.7 | on Hep B vaccines. He posted to social media, quote, as a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades, |
| 0:41.2 | this change to the vaccine schedule is a mistake. The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. |
| 0:49.3 | The birth dose is a recommendation, not a mandate. Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year |
| 0:58.3 | were infected with hepatitis B. Now it's fewer than 20. Ending the recommendation for newborns |
| 1:06.0 | makes it more likely the number of cases will begin to increase again. This makes America sicker. |

| 1:56.3 | And when it comes to this particular appointment, Senator Bill Cassidy voted in favor of |
| 2:02.7 | RFK Jr.'s confirmation. Some would say his vote was one of the single most important votes |
| 2:10.1 | because he's a Republican doctor who could have actually influenced his party in an incredibly |
| 2:16.8 | narrow vote. Most would say that if Senator |
| 2:21.0 | Cassidy had thrown his weight against Junior, he wouldn't be Health and Human Services Secretary |
| 2:27.2 | right now. You can't cry over spilled milk when you lifted the toddler up and put him on the table to begin with. |
| 2:37.1 | But doing that would be putting the country over Trump's wishes, something the current Republican |
