Those include combination products that cover tetanus, diphtheria, polio, and hepatitis A.<\/p>\n<p>Siri is doing so until their makers disclose the use of aluminum in the products, which has been associated with an increase in asthma cases.<\/p>\n<p>He also stated he only files petitions on behalf of clients, but it&rsquo;s unknown how many or which petitions could have been asked for by Kennedy.

The disease is crippling and has no cure. The virus killed thousands of people in the United States before vaccine doses could be distributed and permanently disabled many survivors.<\/p>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump has had his share of vaccine skepticism in the past but admitted the polio shot &ldquo;is the greatest thing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The polio vaccine is the greatest thing,&rdquo; Trump said last week. &ldquo;If someone told me, &lsquo;Get rid of the polio vaccine,&rsquo; they&rsquo;re going to have to work really hard to convince me.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy likely has a steep hill to climb to be confirmed, but if he is, Siri will help pick the health officials alongside him.
