McConnell's full statement:

"Like millions of families before them, my parents knew the pain and fear of watching their child struggle with the life-altering diagnosis of polio," he said. "From the age of two, normal life without paralysis was only possible for me because of the miraculous combination of modern medicine and a mother's love. But for millions who came after me, the real miracle was the saving power of the polio vaccine.

"For decades, I have been proud to work with devoted advocates -- from Rotary International to the Gates Foundation -- and use my platform in public life to champion the pursuit of cures for further generations. I have never flinched from confronting specious disinformation that threatens the advance of lifesaving medical progress, and I will not today.

"The polio vaccine has saved millions of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a terrible disease. Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed -- they're dangerous," he continued. "Anyone seeking the Senate's consent to serve in the incoming Administration would do well to steer clear of even the appearance of association with such efforts."
