McConnell had warned Kennedy not to undermine the polio vaccine.

In the podcast interview, Kennedy went on to outline what he called safety problems with several common vaccines, including the polio vaccine, and later called vaccines "inherently unsafe", apparently quoting former President Ronald Reagan.

An advisor to Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., petitioned the government to withdraw approval of the polio vaccine.

On the other side of the partisan spectrum, the ascendant figures are free/non-thinkers like RFK Jr. and Joe Rogan who “question everything,” even things that don’t need questioning, like the polio vaccine or federal deposit insurance.

Before Jonas Salk developed the first successful polio vaccine in the mid-1950s, the disease killed or paralyzed more than half a million people around the world each year.
