RFK Jr.'s lawyer and top ally asked FDA to revoke approval of polio vaccine

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s personal attorney previously lobbied the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the approval of the polio vaccine, highlighting an influential Kennedy ally who, sources tell ABC News, has been helping interview candidates for top health jobs in the incoming Trump administration.

Aaron Siri, a partner at the law firm Siri & Glimstad, has long fought against the widespread prevalence of vaccines. He has also filed petitions seeking to pause the distribution of other vaccines, including Hepatitis B, and to revoke the emergency use authorization of COVID-19 vaccines.

The polio petition was made on behalf of one of Siri's clients, the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a group founded by Del Bigtree, another close Kennedy ally who also has been involved in health-related transition matters, according to sources.

"Petitioner requests that the FDA withdraw or suspend the approval for [the polio vaccine] for infants, toddlers, and children until a properly controlled and properly powered double-blind trial of sufficient duration is conducted to assess the safety of this product," Siri wrote.

The polio vaccine available in the United States is recommended for children and three doses offer at least 99% protection against severe disease, including paralysis, according to the CDC. Side effects are usually mild and go away on their own, the agency notes, and the vaccine has not been known to cause serious problems.

Are you worried that testing will go badly? If it indeed is shown as safe and does what it is promised, why not put it through the paces?

Depends on if the Polio Vaccine in question is still a vaccine or they’ve stuffed everything under the kitchen cabinet and some covid into the shot.

Let me know when RFK says something about it. The country is filled with all sorts of clowns of various motivations. ABC still hasn’t figured out why no one pays attention to it anymore.

Aaron Siri is not merely his “personal attorney.” RFK Jr. has call him and Del Bigtree “trusted advisors” who engage with him in strategy sessions regarding vaccines.

Maybe you should ask yourself which version of the polio vaccine they were against?

Not all version are the same and some are not as safe as you think.

Classic propaganda / yellow journalism, try getting more facts. I am not anti vax but I am anti lack of facts

IIRC, One of the first polio vaccines killed hundreds of kids.

Took four fools to write this slop. Three more and they could reach the Three Dog Night album cover, “Seven Separate Fools.”

Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) is the only polio vaccine that has been given in the United States since 2000.

No need for polio Vax. Read Moth in the Iron Lung. No need for any vaccines. Read Disolving Illusions

I believe that they should review a possible return to vaccination technique requiring aspiration to prevent negligent vascular injections (a highlighted concern with the covid jabs).

This would include nearly all infant vaccinations.
