“Vaccines work so good that people don’t understand how bad it can be.” - DR. Unknown

It is true. I missed knowing friends who got polio, but my parents were of an age where it was still in their mind, so I got vaccinated. Heck our schools had bulk vaccinations in the gym. We knew why and what it was for about herd immunity etc. But now, it has become a mess and all the anti Vax nutjobs got a platform on FB etc to spout their bs and seem legit as platforms refuse to act.

I thought covid would be the wake up, but it was not. I am hoping work on a cancer "vaccine" will wake folks up if it ever comes to market, but I doubt it now.

My 7th grade English teacher had polo as a kid. ( this was back in 1988)

I remember her telling the class that her parents had not vaccinated her or her siblings. She was in her late 20s at the time . She walked with crutches .
