EXCERPT:
STAHL: "You're a polio survivor. There is one of the cabinet nominees, RFK Jr., who says that the polio vaccine killed more people than polio. What are your views about that?"
McCONNELL: "Well, the polio vaccine has been a huge success."
STAHL: "But what about all of them? Measles, mumps, I mean, chickenpox."
McCONNELL: "Oh, vaccines are critically important to health, to having normal lives."
STAHL: "How important is that issue to you? You know, we’re talking about things you would fight for. You’re free at last. You’re free to speak your mind."
McCONNELL: "Well, it’s no surprise that it — it’s a big deal with me."
