Sen. Bill Cassidy , a lifelong advocate of vaccinations, voted for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary.

Kennedy had built a large following on social media by questioning the safety of vaccines and falsely linking them to autism.

A single "no" vote by any Republican on the Senate Finance Committee could have been enough to derail the nomination.

Kennedy is known for promoting debunked conspiracy theories on health.

Republicans have a 53 -seat majority, allowing Kennedy to lose three Republicans and still survive with Vice President JD Vance casting a tie breaking vote if necessary.

Democrats say they too want someone to challenge the status quo on chronic disease, but said Kennedy 's denial of scientific consensus wouldn't help Americans .
