Sen. Mitch McConnell was fortunate enough to have survived polio, so he understands as well as anyone how important and life-changing vaccines are.
Gave thanks yesterday on World Polio Day that America has been polio-free for 40 years and that we have reduced global cases by 99.9%. An historic success story and a testament to the power of safe and effective vaccines to keep people healthy, save lives, and change the world.

Evidently that’s the perfect sort of fodder for the comedic geniuses at “The Daily Show”:
Who can forget how America eradicated polio 40 years ago by screaming “Don’t Fauci My Florida” until it went away https://t.co/arSCglPgyf

What?
The corporate approved "comedian" is comparing Polio to coronavirus.
Let the sink in.

Yeah, we’re not quite sure what “The Daily Show” thinks they’re doing here. Owning pro-vaccine Mitch McConnell by being petty and tiresome and intellectually dishonest? Weird flex, but that’s kind of their thing now.
Polio vaccine is different than the Covid vaccine…your tweet is dishonest

At least they know their brand and stick to it.
Too many people don't understand the difference between a vaccine that prevents catching or transmitting a virus vs a vaccine that slightly lowers probabilities. https://t.co/pakXnAAbIc

“The Daily Show” doesn’t want people to understand the difference. They’re counting on their audience not to understand the difference.
You grow more unintelligent by the second. Who owns you?! What do they have on you?

Must be something big, seeing as how much “The Daily Show” is willing to debase themselves for cheap laughs.
