This was a perfectly appropriate end to a lackluster and disappointing Mets season. They had every opportunity to be successful this year and they squandered every chance they got.They did us all a favor by not making us sit through a wildcard round. #LGM (I guess)

Cassidy attacks RFK’s adjustment over covid vaccine recommendations by giving specific examples of people having difficulty getting the vaccine. Cassidy says plainly that people will have less access to the vaccine to which Kennedy disagreed.

Combatively- RFK asks Cassidy if he has a question about vaccines or if he is just “giving a speech”. Kennedy then claims his complaint was about mandates, not the vaccine itself.

Perhaps the most anticipated questioning today will come from Senator Bill Cassidy who has repeatedly said he wants “oversight” related to RFK’s controversial decisions. The two shook hands before the hearing.

RFK Jr. said that the CDC “failed miserably” during the covid pandemic and that is part of the reason why the agency was in need of an overhaul. He said they need people ready to “chart a new course” there.
