RFK Jr.'s Lawyer Petitions FDA to Revoke Polio Vaccine Approval, McConnell Warns Against Undermining Vaccine Confidence
Dec 13, 2024, 09:46 PM
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s lawyer, Aaron Siri, has petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which has protected millions from a virus that can cause paralysis or death. This move has sparked significant controversy and concern among public health officials and political leaders. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a polio survivor, issued a statement criticizing efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures like the polio vaccine, warning that such actions are not only uninformed but dangerous. McConnell's statement did not name Kennedy directly but implied that any association with efforts to undermine vaccine confidence could jeopardize Senate confirmation for positions in the incoming Trump administration.
