It seems polio survivor Mitch McConnell is not a big fan of revoking the approval of the polio vaccine.
After recent reporting by The New York Times that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s crazy lawyer, Aaron Siri, had previously petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, McConnell condemned the attempts in a statement released this weekend, but failed to mention either Kennedy or Siri by name.
In a statement reported by numerous outlets on Friday, McConnell, who contracted the disease as a child in 1944 – 11 years before the licensing of the world’s first polio vaccine – said: “The polio vaccine has saved millions of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a terrible disease. Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed – they’re dangerous.”
