Trump nominee's top ally calls for polio vaccines to be pulled from market: report

Raw Story  

A lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick his public health team for the incoming Donald Trump administration has asked the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, according to a new report. Kennedy ally Aaron Siri, who represented him during his failed presidential bid, has also filed a petition on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network asking to pause the distribution of 13 other vaccines and challenged Covid vaccine mandates, demanding millions of pages in documents from the Food and Drug Administration, reported the New York Times. “I love Aaron Siri,” Kennedy told podcaster Del Bigtree, his former campaign communications director and the founder of the Informed Consent Action Network. “There’s nobody who’s been a greater asset to the medical freedom movement than him.” He has also privately expressed interest in having Siri serve as the Health and Human Services Department’s general counsel, but Siri has said that he might have more influence outside the administration.
