The lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick federal health officials for the incoming Trump administration has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which for decades has protected millions of people from a virus that can cause paralysis or death.

That campaign is just one front in the war that the lawyer, Aaron Siri, is waging against vaccines of all kinds.

Mr. Siri has also filed a petition seeking to pause the distribution of 13 other vaccines; challenged, and in some cases quashed, Covid vaccine mandates around the country; sued federal agencies for the disclosure of records related to vaccine approvals; and subjected prominent vaccine scientists to grueling videotaped depositions.

Much of Mr. Siri’s work — including the polio petition filed in 2022 — has been on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network, a nonprofit whose founder is a close ally of Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Siri also represented Mr. Kennedy during his presidential campaign.

1. Maybe Kennedy can save trump the trouble

of killing millions of Americans.

[republianmushroom]

2. And the stupidity begins/continues.

[GB_RN]

4. The Stupid!

It burns!!

[dchill]

23. It kills, too! (BTW)

[GB_RN]

3. On What Grounds?

I want to see the actual, scientific research papers and accompanying peer reviews. What’s that? You don’t have any? You’re operating off of something you read on Facebook or other…”legitimate” source? GTFO here.

[Ray Bruns]

16. I have an Internet address. You know, because they can't put anything on the internet that's not true.

Because I do my own research.

5. my God, I remember the doctor's waiting room filled...

...with young mothers, like mine, and their children waiting for the polio vaccine.

[LiberalArkie]

20. I got mine while in grade school from the school nurse. Every kid got it from the same syringe. Pre sugar cube

[Attilatheblond]

31. Schools in Long Beach, CA opened vaccine 'clinics' to ALL family members, in the evenings, when I was a kid there

The sugar cubes were given in the cafeteria and the line to get the vaccine looked stretched across & around the playground. School kids, pre-schoolers, parents, grand parents, aunts/uncles, and just anybody from the 'hood. It was like a gleeful block party.

Most of the adults had known people who got polio when they were young. NOBODY wanted to skip the vaccine and everyone was very gracious to the health care workers who gave the doses. Such relief on the faces of the adults, knowing their kids would be unlikely to die in iron lungs of their memories, or even have to spend their lives in heavy metal leg braces.

Sometimes I think RFK jr is just so angry about losing his father that he wants to punish the whole world. He is a sick sick man and should NEVER be in ANY position of government authority.

[LiberalArkie]

32. To be historically correct he needs to have the SmallPox vaccine banned.

He and others wanted an excuse for Aspergers as due their superior genetics it was impossible for it to be a genetic disease that a child was born with. So it had to be something else that the children were exposed to. Ahh. Has to be the vaccines that caused it as their superior blueblood genes could not be it.

His line of thinking and others is that a child could not have been born autistic, it has to be something else. It could not ever have been the parents fault - hence the first "Karens".

6. Jonas Salk will go from hero status to public enemy number 1 in the history books via RFK Jr

Hard to believe this level of ignorance achieving undeserved power.

[BadgerMom]

14. I've wondered if the Kennedy name will be forever tarnished.

[Kev80]

19. It's always been tarnished

Ask Rose.

[Bengus81]

27. No...because people are smart enough to know that IDIOT is a Kennedy in name only

[Girard442]

7. These bastards deserve to wake up as ventilator-dependent quadriplegics

And live that way for many many years.

[AllyCat]

12. No, if they live like that for many years, it means we are paying

For their care. And I don’t want to pay for them. They don’t deserve it.

8. Make Preventable Deaths Great Again

so stupid and unnecessary

Polio was close to eradication. The last wild case anywhere in the Americas was in the 1990s. The only countries where it is still circulating are Afghanistan, Pakistan, and some war-torn areas like Gaza. Let's not go backwards.

[kimbutgar]

9. Great we get polio back and a healthcare system that is for profit and no government help for people

What could go wrong?

[IronLionZion]

11. To make America great again

lots of Americans need to suffer and die preventable deaths.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Not much.

At least not for any health care providers or health insurers.

[Irish_Dem]

28. CEOs could double insurance rates and make a killing.

[Wild blueberry]

10. Unlike corporations, Sideshow Bobby CAN be sued for murder

There were kids at our elementary school who had polio. That it was essentially eradicated is a tribute to science and medicine.
Thank you.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Trump would just pardon him.

And all of his mobster friends.

[City Lights]

15. Giving a special thanks here to Moscow Mitch

for his role in making polio great again.

[Kev80]

17. Jonas Salk

He was a great man who wasn’t worried about compensation, he was a humanitarian. I’m to young to have witnessed polio but I’ve heard the horror stories. Iron lung, just kill me I’m already dead living in this contraption.

[byronius]

18. Idiot.

[Orrex]

21. There would be absolutely no downside to RFKJ dying in agony

[area51]

22. F Bobby.

Pure evil.

[orleans]

24. so the kennedy lawyer is as fucking crazy as "bobby" is nt

[Bengus81]

25. Polio will go away when it warms up........n/t

[maptap22]

26. My brother had polio as a kid

And has needed a brace for one of his legs all his life. He was one of the lucky ones though and didn’t end up in an iron lung. I can’t imagine my parents fear with also having 5 other kids - it was so contagious. I remember getting the vaccine.

[Bengus81]

30. Yep...with a sugar cube for myself and my family. Parents were taking NO chances back then

I know that asshat was vaccinated,he's five months younger than me.

[maptap22]

33. That's right it was a sugar cube

I was thinking it was a drink but you are correct. I was very young - maybe 4? One of my earliest memories.
