- President Trump called for the MMR shot to be broken up into separate doses, which STAT's D.C. Diagnosis newsletter framed as an "about-face on vaccines"
- Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) expressed displeasure at the call, prompting STAT's newsletter to remark wryly, "if only there had been a way to stop that"
Why it matters: Cassidy's public frustration with Trump's MMR call, captured by STAT's wry "if only there had been a way to stop that" remark, marks at least one Republican senator openly dissenting from the administration's vaccine posture.
