Top RFK Jr. Lawyer Filed Petition to Revoke Approval for Polio Vaccine
I guess MAGA world must feel why not give RFK Jr his ‘shot’ at running Health and Human Services
It has recently come to light that Aaron Siri, a lawyer closely affiliated with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — Donald Trump’s pick to head up the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — has petitioned the FDA to revoke approval of the polio vaccine — despite scientific studies showing its safety and efficacy for staving off a debilitating virus that can result in permanent paralysis and even death. Polio is a disease for which there is no cure.
Wow, they want to ban the polio vaccine? WTF? Did RFK just buy stock in Iron Lung and wheelchair makers? Now, not to be critical, but its starting to sound like those Kennedys may have picked the wrong family member to lobotomize. I suppose the lesson to be learned from this is — that you can never fully depend on brain worms to get the job completely done right.
That said, I fully understand where RFK Jr is coming from. He’ll say we need much more data and research about the polio vaccine’s safety and effectiveness before we can allow its continued use. After all, this vaccine has only been diligently studied for the past 74 years and available to the public for 72 years now…
