Cassidy is a physician who supports vaccines.
He only agreed to support the nomination after Kennedy promised not to change vaccine policy.
and to appear regularly before the Help Committee.
The opposite has happened.
Kennedy has made dramatic, unprecedented changes to vaccine policy and hasn't testified before the Help Committee since September.
Since then, Cassidy has issued statements critical of the Secretary's moves on vaccines, but now he has the opportunity to question him publicly.

According to the analysis of provisional birth certificate data, nearly 126,000 babies were born to mothers aged 15 to 19 last year.
The birth rate for that group declined 7 percent from the year before.
The report's lead author, Brady Hamilton, calls that drop extraordinary.
He's a statistician demographer with the National Center for Health Statistics.
Last year, the teen birth rate was 11.7 births per 1,000 female teens.
That's down from a rate of 61.8 in the early 90s.

The state of Louisiana filed this lawsuit last October, arguing that telemedicine access allows residents to get around the state's abortion ban.
Federal Judge David C. Joseph, a Trump appointee, was sympathetic in his ruling to the state's arguments, but he granted a request from the Food and Drug Administration to put the case on hold while the agency does a review of the safety of the medicine, Mifepristone.
In the ruling, he wrote, quote, It is FDA, not this court, that possesses the expertise to evaluate scientific evidence and make public health judgments.
The judge ordered FDA to report on its progress in six months.
Mifepristone has been approved and available in the U.S.
for more than 25 years.
