Th experiment IS getting Tired…
Republican senators are sending clear signs of disapproval and unhappiness with Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., making it plain to President Trump that they want the administration to address the chaos Kennedy has caused by trying to rewrite the nation’s vaccine policies.
GOP senators have stopped short of calling on Kennedy to resign and haven’t yet said they regret voting for him in February, but they want him to back off efforts to change vaccine policy recommendations without sound scientific backing as the administration faces a growing public backlash.
Kennedy received an unusual admonishment from Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), an orthopedic surgeon, when he testified before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday.
“I support vaccines. I’m a doctor. Vaccines work,” said Barrasso, the Senate’s No. 2-ranking Republican leader.
“Secretary Kennedy, in your confirmation hearings, you promised to uphold the highest standards for vaccines,” he said. “Since then, I’ve grown deeply concerned.” …

Polls show Kennedy’s management of the nation’s health agencies is becoming a bigger political problem for Republicans.
An Economist/YouGov poll of 1,691 adults nationwide found that just 26 percent of respondents said they “somewhat” trust Kennedy’s medical advice, while 48 percent said they distrust him.
A CBS News/YouGov poll found that 74 percent of U.S. adults say government health agencies should make vaccines more available, while 39 percent of respondents say Kennedy’s policies are making vaccines less available. Only 9 percent of U.S. adults said Kennedy is making vaccines more available.
The survey of 2,344 adults found Kennedy has a 45 percent job approval rating and a 55 percent disapproval rating.
Republican senators’ views of Kennedy are souring compared to when almost the entire GOP conference voted to confirm him in February. Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was the only Republican to vote against his nomination.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) on Wednesday vented his frustration with the chaos at the CDC following Monarez’s sudden termination as director less than a month after the Senate confirmed her.
“Honestly, he’s got to take responsibility,” Thune told reporters for Semafor and Politico, referring to Kennedy. “We confirm these people, we go through a lot of work to get them confirmed, and they’re in office a month?”…
Seen this act before.
Republicans act tough on Trump( see the “ big beautiful bill” play),Make a bunch of tough sounding statements,then Trump growls at them and they meekly fall back into line( note that none of them called for Kennedys resignation)
Does anyone really think he’s gonna back down?
The cowardly clods have blown their wad.Maybe they got a snicker out of Trump.
Anyone looking for Republicans to take on Trump is living in a fantasy.
I’ll agree with ya …..
BUT?
The Republican’s in iffy districts in the House WILL have to make some SERIOUS judgement moves in the next 6 months to keep their jobs…
These poeople ALREADY cannot even hold Town Hall meetings….
Trump on Florida possibly relaxing school manditory vaccines…
President Trump expressed reservations Friday about Florida moving to eliminate school vaccine mandates, calling it a “very tough position” and arguing some vaccines are uncontroversial.
“I think we have to be very careful. You have some vaccines that are so amazing,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, citing the polio vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine, which was developed during his first term…

Damn!…..
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s family calls for his resignation
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s sister and nephew called on the secretary to resign Friday after he questioned the safety of vaccination while testifying before a congressional committee.
Why it matters: The resignation calls came hours before President Trump broke with Kennedy by encouraging the public to take vaccines, and a day after several Republican members of the committee questioned the secretary’s fitness following the upheaval at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
What they’re saying: “Medical decisions belong in the hands of trained and licensed professionals, not incompetent and misguided leadership,” Kerry Kennedy, Kennedy’s sister, posted on X on Friday.
“The decimation of critical institutions like the NIH and the CDC will lead to the loss of innocent lives. …Enough is enough. Secretary Kennedy must resign,” she wrote.
Joe Kennedy III, a former U.S. congressman from Massachusetts and Kennedy’s nephew, wrote on Friday that his uncle is “a threat to the health and well-being of every American.”
“The challenges before us — from disease outbreaks to mental health crises — demand moral clarity, scientific expertise, and leadership rooted in fact. Those values are not present in the Secretary’s office. He must resign.”….
