“There is not a vaccine that Kennedy thinks is safe or effective. These folks don’t believe the polio vaccine actually stopped polio. It’s true! They think it is a combination of better sewage, of refrigeration. They are polio truthers. That is what they believe. Robert F. Kennedy has told me this. And so, absolutely, they wanna get rid of all of them. And not just get rid of all of them. They say, ‘We don’t want to get rid of any vaccines. We just want to test them.'” – NBC News reporter Brandy Zadrozny, last night on MSNBC’s All In With Chris Hayes. There are indeed many “polio truthers” on X. A sampling is below.
This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax organization. This is utter and absolute NONSENSE. Polio is caused by a virus and is largely prevented by a wonderful history-altering vaccine. These people are bringing back one of history’s cruelest and devastating childhood diseases. All for the grift pic.twitter.com/gGXku30A9Y

Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger claim that the polio vaccine causes polio.
Polio vaccines have virtually eradicated polio with cases decreasing by more than 99% since the 1980s. pic.twitter.com/7QvGALxLJg

If you voted for these gaslighting war mongers who are paid by the vaccine companies.
You might be one of the dumbest people on the planet.
You’re brainwashed and this is toxic gaslighting behavior.
If you believe the polio vaccines work. You probably have done zero… https://t.co/fKepxc5PAP

In the 50s, Dr. Klenner cure ALL of his polio patients with high dose Vitamin C IVs. DDT poisoning looks like “polio.” Doctors were not allowed to diagnose “polio.” The polio vaccine caused polio in children and adults. The lies around polio and the polio vaccine are endless! pic.twitter.com/hAmSESOLxX
