“Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” said the Republican leader, who is a polio survivor.
This is apparently the point where the “moderate” Republicans are willing to start pushing back — where they’ve got personal experience with just how evil a policy is.

His old-ass lived it. Mitch McConnell being right about something wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card.
McConnell is the sane one now
Jesus fucking Christ
Fuck this timeline
He outlived polio. I can’t blame him.
Yeah, my personal theory on antivaxxers is that they’re actually more afraid of autism.
Because autism is a very visible thing; Everyone knew that one autistic kid growing up. But there are no crunchy moms who remember life before the polio vaccine, because they’re all too young. They literally can’t even comprehend how bad some of these diseases are, because they’ve never seen the effects of them. They never lost a childhood friend to measles, or had a sibling end up infertile due to the mumps. They never saw the entire hospital wings full of iron lungs for polio patients.
To them, these diseases are boogeymen. But autism is very real, because they have seen it.
Which is the only response to those morons is “so you’d rather your kid die than be autistic?”
Make them admit it. Preferably in front of the kid.
If “crunchy moms” wasnt a typo whats it mean
new age-y
downvote or upvote?
He may be slow, he may be lagging behind, but either way:
GO TURTLE GO
for this time he kind of get what he needs to do.
McConnell is looking like the bug from Men In Black, wearing a Mitch suit.
bro cause he is.
the aliens are telling their human thralls to get back in line this gon be a shit show
McConnell has been “pushing back” on Trump since 2016. You can see how good he is at it
Pushing back with all the strength a man his age can muster.
It is complicated for someone like McConnell to try to push something without a spine, no leverage to do anything but whine more
Lich who drew undead power from the suffering of others realizes his life is near its end and wants to make some fake gesture toward goodness and sanity.
Just go burn in hell. You made this bed, and now everyone under 70 is going to have to live in it.
It’s because he’s old as fuck and has experienced seeing polio firsthand. Republicans are generally too stupid to believe in anything they haven’t experienced themselves.
Well the admin can just lie to get him confirmed.
I’m not even kidding or saying that bitterly. It just… seems like fact now.
