Polio was a deadly disease, paralyzing thousands of children for life, every year. Vaccines were seen as a blessing to the first generation that got them.
And now, people who've never opened a history book can confidently claim they are useless, and that polio disappeared on its own so vaccines were never required, and are even harmful! Fuck that particular brand of ignorance.
- giantg2 9mo agoThis seems off topic. I saw nothing in the article nor my comment that displays that level of ignorance. This seems more like a strawman to start a flame war.
- thrance 9mo agoHuh? You were the one claiming that polio vaccines cause more harm than good, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Polio is so rare in the US, because of the vaccines, obviously.
- indemnity 9mo agoMy grandfather limped his entire life because he contracted polio as a child. He would be amazed at our current epidemic of anti-science stupidity.
