President-elect Donald Trump has praised the polio vaccine as the “greatest thing,” but a lawyer affiliated with Trump’s pick to lead the country’s top heath agency has petitioned the US Food and Drug Administration to revoke approval of the vaccine used in the United States.

Another reason to distrust CNN, NYTimes, etc. The implication is that this is a recent event, when that petition was filed in 2022. The man's history is relevant, but you know damn well this is clickbait.

No there’s no ‘implication’, the article clearly states it was filed in 2022 and the review is underway with no decision made as yet. In any event it’s immaterial when it was filed, it’s the fact Siri works closely with Kennedy on vaccine misinformation.

Revoking any vaccine could cause a pandemic, especially those who refuse to get vaccinated. The only reason COVID is under control is enough people got vaccinated. That bro g said around 1.2 million people died of covid in the USA.
