This makes me livid. My children are precious to me and that our government willingly places this country’s children at risk for, what, more power? Votes? Destruction of the USA? is maddening. I feel helpless and so sorry for the parents of children who are needlessly suffering.
I have read that improved hygiene (widespread use of running water, etc) in the US coincided with the introduction of vaccines. Cleanliness played a huge role in the reduction of these diseases...polio is spread through fecal matter so flushing waste and having clean running water and soap available in most bathrooms would greatly reduce the transmission of it. Needless to say, people coming from 3rd world countries have no idea of the standards for hygiene we have here. The somalians have no idea what to do with tubs and sinks. Mexicans are not used to toilets that can handle waste and tp so they tend to throw the used toilet paper in the trash, or on the ground next to public toilets if there is no receptacle there. We know landlords & property managers in our area that has a high population of both. It is a tremendous potential for the spread of disease.
That is create. As hygeine was improving along with improved sanitation, polio was already decreasing. 10 years ago, I hired some temp workers from central America. Even though they spoke English and were legal, they still would nit flush used toilet paper down the toilet. They would discard it in the trash. The told me thst was how they were brought up, due to poor plumbing. They would not change their false behavior. Fecal matter is what spreads many of these diseases.
