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. I mean, let’s not just rush into things.
Of course, you know they’ll be Libtards proclaiming that “just you wait until those MAGA parents start seeing their own children paralyzed or in an Iron lung, and then they’ll open up their minds about vaccines,” but to be honest - I doubt it. Knowing MAGA half-wits as I do, they’ll instead find a way to blame immigrants for everything.
Hell, judging from when they open their mouths during interviews, it appears a lot of MAGAs are not simply against vaccines, but also against dental hygiene as well. Now, orange and black may be really fun colors for Halloween, but I don’t think teeth are supposed to be that color, and I’m pretty sure humans should not be able to count all their teeth on just one hand.
Folks, the way I see it - here’s the deal. If you think the US healthcare system really sucks now, just wait until all these horrific, preventable diseases are back in the mix again. That’s when the fun begins. Imagine not being able to take that vacation abroad because other countries now see Americans as disease carriers.
I mean, who knew we’d become a society that sees researchers like Jonas Salk as some sort of evil Bond villain? A guy who was so selfless he declined to patent his vaccine and refused any monetary gain from it. He simply wanted to save lives. I guess in the MAGA world - that kind of behavior is considered downright un-American.
