“Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” said the Republican leader, who is a polio survivor.
This is apparently the point where the “moderate” Republicans are willing to start pushing back — where they’ve got personal experience with just how evil a policy is.

I hate that Mitch McConnell has become the voice of reason. It doesn’t sit well with me at all.
The Overton Window cuts both ways!
I didn’t grow up a centrist. But the window moved both to the left and to the right of me!
Another great case of, I don’t care until it affects ME
It’s interesting that RFK Jr., the head of HHS, is now actively preparing to withdraw the polio vaccine. And the story is “Ooh, Republican drama!”
Our government has become a reality TV show, but it’s still doing things that affect living and dying. The media is the problem, they made this happen to sell ad space.
This is the third story of the NYT ran about this today. The other two covered the policy itself, and the likely health consequences
He does this every now and then. Don’t take the bait: he’s still a miserable little shit stain that needs to hurry up and choke to death on Putin’s dick.
Too late turtlefucker, you set this machine in motion, there’s no going back now. Enjoy the last few years watching the nation you took for granted collapse before you die.
This cum stain will never ever have to truly see any consequences for what he has done.
That’s the difference here that we should really be highlighting. These people may as well live on another planet, that’s how much more privilege and just downright evil these people are working with.
Dealing with their own actions hasnt even been on their radar a little bit.
Seriously. You did EVERYTHING possible to prop up a system that screws everyone EXCEPT you.
I knew he was old, I didn’t know he was polio survivor old
Oh cool. Now we get to pretend like Moscow Mitch is a man of the people.
The only reason he’s coming out for the vaccine is because he had polio as a child. It’s another one of those things where they only care about an issue if it affects them directly.
Broken clock is right twice a day.
Did this dude have a Scrooge moment or something??
Mitch McConnell had polio himself. He knows what the vaccine defends against
All the more unfathomable that he could have seen those horrors and still turned out to be so evil.
The funny part is, with how wacko things have been in the last 2 months, it would not surprise me one iota for him and the balance of the last dozen old guard repubs to defect to the dems over something like this.
He’s old enough that he had polio before their were vaccines to prevent it, and had a leg paralyzed for an extended period of time. Probably saw other kids forced to live in an iron lung and maybe even die
Either die a villain or live long enough to become a hero? Wait that doesn’t sound right.
Either die a villain or died from an easily preventable cause.
Mitch McConnell is the voice of reason!? Make it make cents, since, sents, scents, sense.
Probably the single benefit of him being as old as he is. He had polio as a kid. He knows exactly how bad that shit is. He might be a stupid, evil motherfucker, but even he isn’t that stupid.
There is no cause for confusion, be at ease. Even an especially unintelligent conservative can easily comprehend the danger of their own policies, once the harm is made intimate to them.
