McConnell warns RFK Jr. to steer clear of the polio vaccine
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a polio survivor, warned any incoming members of the Trump administration not to undermine confidence in the polio vaccine.
"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," he added, without naming Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic who is President-elect Trump's choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

McConnell's statement follows a New York Times report on Friday that highlighted how Kennedy's personal attorney, Aaron Siri, had represented clients in cases that sought to rescind approval for a version of the polio vaccine and others.
