“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.

It's so sad that that's so often the case

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

Lol. This weasel only defends something he's personally benefited from.

So absolutely typical for a conservative.

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.

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.
