Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) on Friday blasted “specious disinformation that threatens the advance of lifesaving medical progress” after The New York Times reported that a lawyer linked to Robert F. Kennedy has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine.

McConnell, a polio survivor, warned that “efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous.”

“Anyone seeking the Senate’s consent to serve in the incoming administration would do well to steer clear of even the appearance of association with such efforts,” McConnell said in a statement, clearly referring to Kennedy, President-elect Trump’s choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

The New York Times reported Friday that a lawyer helping Kennedy hire federal health officials for the incoming Trump administration has petitioned the federal government to revoke approval for the polio vaccine.

1. It is really hard to believe that people in authority are wanting the polio vaccine to be revoked.

2. Golly, maybe someone should have told Turtleman earlier that RFK Jr was an anti- vaxer.

Oh, wait, that information was common knowledge years ago?

Never mind.

8. Hey, Mitch!

You’ve had three chances to get rid of Trump but you’ve helped him retain power each time.

In the immortal words of Dick Cheney, “Go fuck yourself.”
