During an interview on "Planet Chronicle Sunday," Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., stated that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is "incorrect" regarding vaccinations.

The senator stated that he is excited to meet with Kennedy in the upcoming week, but while they share some views, they differ on others.

While Cassidy criticized ultra-processed food as an issue, he disagreed with Kennedy's stance on vaccinations.

Did Cassidy plan to vote against confirming Kennedy to HHS due to their disagreement on vaccines, as asked by Planet Chronicle Digital?

"Cassidy does not discuss his votes before meetings with nominees and the Senate process unfolding, but he plans to discuss these topics with RFK Jr in their upcoming meeting, according to a spokesman for Cassidy."
