Senator Roger Wicker REFUSES to commit to vote YES for Robert F. Kennedy as Secretary of Health and Human Services, according to pro-Trump activists in Mississippi.
Sen. Wicker’s daughter, Carolina Wicker Sims, works for Butler Snow, an establishment linked lobby firm tied closely to the Pharmaceutical industry and vaccines.
Meanwhile, Mississippi has the single highest rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) deaths in the nation.

Wicker’s firm, Butler Snow, protects Pharmaceutical companies and their products against liability claims.
They’re so proud of the fact that they protect Pharma companies against those harmed by the drugs they produce, they openly brag about it on their website.

Butler Snow’s website openly brags about representing the controversial Vaccine space Anthony Fauci made so famous.
Mississippi famously has one of the most onerous vaccine regimes in the nation.
National News outlets have doggedly tracked the success of the vaccine regime in Mississippi over a decade, just as they have tracked similar human experiments on subjects in Africa.
Butler Snow’s website tells us they rep the following
Pharmaceuticals:VACCINES,
anti-psychotic medications,
birth control,
blood thinners,
cholesterol medications,
hypertension medications,
osteoporosis medications,as well as a whole host of other pharma drugs. pic.twitter.com/hA9tXHGfUm

The pride Butler Snow takes in defending Pharmaceutical companies seems a bit out of place, given the last four years.
The thing Butler Snow is MOST proud about, however, is defending Pharmaceutical companies from plaintiffs — that is, people who the drugs HURT.

It is unclear whether Caroline Wicker Sims still lobbies in the Pharma space, since Butler Snow’s lobbying disclosures available on government websites do not remotely match all of the bragging they do in press releases on their website.
Their website goes to great length to brag about all the product liability defense cases they’ve won. pic.twitter.com/g1cPAWlzZm

It was not until 2023 that Mississippi, under judge’s order, began to allow religious exemptions for childhood vaccinations.
A very backward progressive at the Associated Press EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS reports:
Mississippi is starting the court-ordered process of letting people cite religious beliefs to seek exemptions from state-mandated vaccinations that children must receive before attending day care or school.
Mississippi is one of the poorest states and has high rates of health problems such as obesity and heart disease. But it has received praise from public health officials for years because it has some of the highest rates of childhood vaccination against diseases such as polio, measles and mumps.
In April, U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden ordered Mississippi to join most other states in allowing religious exemptions from childhood vaccinations.
His ruling came in a lawsuit filed last year by several parents who said their religious beliefs have led them to keep their children unvaccinated and out of Mississippi schools. The lawsuit, funded by the Texas-based Informed Consent Action Network, argued that Mississippi’s lack of a religious exemption for childhood vaccinations violates the U.S. Constitution.
The only states without religious or personal belief exemptions for school immunization requirements have been California, Connecticut, Maine, Mississippi, New York and West Virginia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Mississippi once had a religious exemption for childhood vaccinations, but it was overturned in 1979 by a state court judge who ruled that vaccinated children have a constitutional right to be free from associating with their unvaccinated peers, the lawsuit said.
Over the past several years, Mississippi legislators have rejected proposals to allow religious exemptions for childhood vaccinations, with health officials saying more exemptions could lead to the spread of preventable diseases.
