She also stated that security personnel nationwide would receive additional training as part of the initiative.

Boner Candidate #3: HE’S A LIAR, YOU’RE A LIAR…THEY ALL SEEM TO BE LYING LIARS WHO LIE.
Sen. Bill Cassidy defended his pivotal support for confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary, even as Kennedy has since upended federal vaccine policy. Pressed on CNN about whether Kennedy misled him regarding his anti-vaccine intentions, Cassidy refused to criticize him directly, despite Kennedy’s abrupt dismissal of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel and other controversial actions. The senator has nonetheless publicly rebuked Kennedy for what he calls irresponsible moves, including altering how the CDC presents its stance on vaccines and autism. The tension comes amid broader public outcry, including criticism from Kennedy’s own family, over the secretary’s efforts to reshape U.S. vaccine policy.
