The lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick federal health officials for the incoming Trump administration has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which for decades has protected millions of people from a virus that can cause paralysis or death. This effort exemplifies a broader war being waged against vaccines, with Mr. Siri challenging mandates and filing petitions against multiple vaccines, reflecting growing skepticism and pushing a dangerous narrative.
At the Trump transition headquarters, Aaron Siri has joined Mr. Kennedy in questioning and choosing candidates for top health positions, which raises alarms about their views on vaccines and the potential influence on public health policy. Their positions threaten to undermine decades of vaccination progress and could have real consequences for disease resurgence and trust in vaccines, where previously protected populations are now being exposed to harmful ideas.
