“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.

Well he's old enough that he caught it, so this is actually not a surprise. Conservatives only care about the social good when it's something that directly impacts them.

Not to be misunderstood, fuck Donnie boy and all his lackeys… But how would this impact that geriatric turtle? He could vaccinate himself and all his offsprings if wanted to/hadn’t already?

So absolutely typical for a conservative.

Oh no, they are at the light unease level, that's only another dozen levels away from not falling in line, I think the next step is a furroughed eyebrow, then a pursed lip, maybe a tut-tut was next... I think after that came mild disappointment, followed by the ultimate level we ever got up to during Trump's first term, a light concern with some minor details of the matter at hand.

Here's one of the most corrupt, cartoonishly awful politicians of our time, making what might be his first non-blatantly evil statement: He's against polio.

What a bold stand, especially after siding with coronavirus.

Probably one of the only things we actually agree on.

Fuck me. I didn't want the future to be so nuts that I'd be taking McConnel's side!
