Trump nominees should ‘steer clear’ of undermining the polio vaccine, according to McConnell. McConnell emphasizes the importance of the polio vaccine for public health.
There is concern over statements that might undermine vaccine confidence, leading to negative health outcomes. Endorsement of vaccines is crucial for maintaining public health safety. McConnell said on Friday, Dec. 13, “Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous.”
McConnell is himself a survivor of polio, having contracted the disease at 2 years old, and says in part that modern medicine is what ended up saving him, referencing the polio vaccine.
