McConnell Defends Polio Vaccine, an Apparent Warning to Kennedy

KY Senator Mitch McConnell Defends Polio Vaccine, an Apparent Warning to Kennedy

Aging Senator Mitch McConnell has fired a "shot across the bow" of HHS-nominee RFKjr and his "Holistic Health brigands" against discontinuing administration of the polio vaccine to young children.

It seems Mitch McConnell suffered from polio when he was very young, and knows first-hand the effects of not being vaccinated (the vaccine wasn't invented until 1953, McConnell was born in 1942). The vaccine has been safe and effective for 71 years, but RFKjr and his minions say we need "more studies".

Like most Republicans, McConnell doesn't take a position on something unless he has personal experience with it (you might recall AIDs didn't exist for Republicans until Nancy Reagan's friend Rock Hudson died in 1985).

It's weird that Republicans have allowed themselves to be transformed by a known fraudster into an anti-education, anti-science party.

Just follow the roubles,then it's not weird at all.

If Kennedy actually gets confirmed after this, this country as we know it is done. honestly, I believe this time it’s really a bridge too far.

Is there any chance that the Senate in its coming formation will refuse to confirm anybody Trump appoints?

Mitch McConnell was the only Republican Senator to vote against the confirmation of Hegseth, Gabbard and Kennedy Jr.

I think he’s trying to make amends to America for all the shitty things he’s done as a senator. A deathbed repentant.

“Oh but he does”? He does what? Are you responding to the voices in your head?

The GOP has been that ever since the 1970s.

He's rolling himself off that cliff.

 

[TastySuckToy]

When exactly was RFK against the polio vaccine?

Last I checked, he's just against government enforced vaccination and especially so for new and unproven vaccines.
