What a piece of shit. He won't let her answer and then says she's not being fully honest.

Of course this was the guy who wanted to physically fight a witness in the committee room.

Mullin: “… what day was you fired? … OK what days was the first time you seeked [sic] counsel, not retained, seeked [sic] counsel? … so you retained them the first time you spoke to them? … was you was you let go in the middle of the night? Was you let go in the middle of the day? …
so you got hold of the attorneys late at night? [I’m sorry what?] you got hold of the attorneys after business hours to retain them …

[turning to the trust conversation, she says RFk told her he could not trust her and she said if he can’t trust her he should fire her] “… is that really how that conversation went? Cause there’s other people in the room and I think the conversation went can he trust you and your answer was?

Monarez: “He said he could not trust me”

Mullin: “No. the answer, ma’am, it was a recorded meeting so you can testify one way or you can prove that you’re lying or be honest with this committee. And I’m giving you the opportunity to be honest here cause you’ve been really walking around the edges and not being truthful so did he ask you the question can he trust you and your answer was?”

Monarez: He told me he could not trust me and I told him if he could not trust me he could fire me”

Mullin: “ummm that isn’t how that conversation went. And you know that, don’t you … you have to question you because your personality and your answers aren’t correct …”

He should be censured for that. That’s the same kind of dumbfuck redneck attitude that’s previously led to an exchange with a witness about “taking it outside.”

The witness was acting the same way. The exchange was between 2 middle-aged “men” that wanted to settle their differences with fists. Both of them are giant douche bags. This culture of tough guys that stopped maturing at 17, that view growth as a weakness, and claim to be leaders might be doing a bit of harm to society.

But Markwayne instigated it, and anyway, a US Senator should always, under every conceivable circumstance, decline to physically accost with a congressional witness.

That was Teamsters head Sean O’Brien.

They’ve apparently kissed and made up.

Markwayne said this past winter/spring after approving of Trump’s labor secretary nominee, “I do joke with my new friend over here, which I had the mic and he can’t defend himself here, that if we were in a relationship, I’d be the man in the relationship.”
 


“… Retsef Levi, a professor of operations management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, serves as an outside adviser to the government on vaccines. He was elevated to the head of a work group with CDC on COVID immunization in August.

… At the same time, new rules published by CDC would allow him to appoint other panel members, set the work priorities and shape recommendations on who should receive COVID-19 vaccines. In the end, the Kennedy appointee did receive those new powers.

Lawyers at the Department of Health and Human Services "expressed legal concerns" about the widened scope and Levi’s outsized role in the group and proposed that government officials narrow its purview to topics "that are within the scope of the CDC mission," according to an August 25 email to federal health officials that was read to Reuters….”
 
I am sure that'll work, Bill


Cassidy closed the hearing with a plea to the new ACIP panel to not change the longstanding recommendation that all infants get vaccinated for Hepatitis B, citing his own credentials as a hepatologist who practiced for decades and saw people die from Hep B infections.

In a scrum with reporters outside the hearing room, Cassidy said bluntly that if ACIP later this week rescinds its recommendation for universal Hep B vaccination of newborns, the American people should not trust it.

“We have decreased from 20,000 kids a year getting Hepatitis B to like 20 a year. That’s an exponential decline,” he said. “And by the way, it’s not a mandate. It’s just something that the mother can have should she wish.”
 
^one point generally not being covered is if ACIp rescinds the recommendation, I believe federal funding gets pulled for people who can't afford the vaccines, also opens the door to insurance companies dumping the coverage, but it would be pretty fucking stupid to do so from an insurance payout standpoint as a vaccine is a lot cheaper than a treating Hep A based liver damage in children.

That’s not how they work though, otherwise they’d pay for insulin or inhalers full cost. Also Cassidy can go fuck himself, he’s a doctor, he knew what was coming. Truly can’t understand a physician voting for Trump (outside of awful surgeons)

Mullin sounds like a plumber cosplaying as a US Senator. Dude doesn't even understand basic subject/verb agreement. The citizens of Oklahoma should be ashamed of electing him to office.

And of course, it turns out he was the one lying in that exchange while accusing Monarez of being dishonest.

Agreed that Oklahoma should be ashamed, but this is the state that also elected that brilliant promoter of critical thinking and high quality public education, Ryan Walters, as Superintendent of Public Schools. I believe it is also the only state in which every single county voted for Trump last year. In that sense Mullin perfectly symbolizes that state, and that's not a compliment.
 
I doubt Markwayne Mullin is stupid.

He’s like the Louisiana Senator, Kennedy. He’s portraying a dumbfuck bumpkin when it benefits him.

Plenty of video of Markwayne using was/were and other words, including verbs, correctly.

Is he well educated? No.

Is he smart? Yes.

Is he evil? Yes.

Is he smart enough to use was/were correctly? Plenty of video showing him doing so.

He’s Jesse Helms or George Wallace in his bigotry and shrewdness…..”I’m just a good ol’ boy……”
 


“… Martin Kulldorff, chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, announced the plans at the start of a meeting where the panelists are considering eliminating a recommendation to provide hepatitis B shots to all infants at birth. That would be the first major change to the child vaccine schedule under Kennedy.

Kulldorff signaled more may come because the panel will establish work groups to review vaccines given during childhood and adolescence, as well as pregnancy.

During a fiery Senate hearing on Wednesday, former CDC director Susan Monarez testified she was fired after refusing to rubber stamp ACIP’s vaccine changes, which she said would undermine “scientific integrity.” She and top CDC leaders who recently resigned have blasted members of the committee — whom Kennedy selected after firing their predecessors — for past criticism of vaccines.…”
 
For at least the next 3.5 years, Americans will be required to live in two different worlds. One will take vaccine recommendations from the experts. The other will take vaccine recommendations from Trump and RFK's CDC.

I STRONGLY encourage everyone to listen to the experts.

I've had the long term RSV and just had the long term pneumonia vaccine. I also got the flu vaccine and my doctor sent a prescription for the Covid shot to my pharmacy. Guess which side I'm on.
 
The committee today recommended that the combination MMRV vaccine not be given until 4 years of age due to the risk of febrile seizures when the MMRV dose is given as the first varicella dose.

Notably they are not recommending changing the actual schedule of vaccination.

The vote on pushing back the hepatitis B vaccine was deferred to tomorrow.
