For some obscure reason, Sen. Cassidy (R-LA) doesn't like RFKjr's stance on vaccines.
...Federal disclosures reveal an influx of campaign donations began on February 10th, 2023, shortly after Cassidy’s appointment as the ranking member of the Senate Health Committee.
Notable contributions from the period included $5,800 from Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, $5,000 from Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks, $2,900 from Bristol Myers Squibb CEO Giovanni Caforio, and $2,500 from Biogen CEO Christopher Viehbacher, all of whom are members of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) board.
Further support came from various pharmaceutical companies’ political action committees, with contributions like $2,500 from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), $1,000 from Boehringer Ingelheim, $1,000 from Novartis, $2,500 from Takeda, $2,500 from Alnylam, $1,000 from Bristol Myers Squibb, $5,000 from Astellas, $2,900 from Eisai, and $1,000 from Gilead. Individual contributions were also made, including $5,800 from Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day, $1,500 from PhRMA COO Lori Reilly, and $1,000 from PhRMA Senior Vice President for Federal Advocacy Anne Esposito.
More comprehensive information logged by OpenSecrets shows that the health professionals and pharmaceuticals/health products industries are among Cassidy’s top backers. The former gave him $1,163,554 from 2015-2024, while the latter gave him $667,137....
I can't figure out why Cassidy has a problem with RFKjr's Vax-Stance.
Can you??
