You’re tedious. And you don’t understand your own big words. I’m bored with batting practice. Bye.

And it’s true, the stories of iron lungs (the actress Helen Hayes was much in the news because of this) were rampant in the mid to early 50s.

I was in the State Hospital for Crippled Children at Elizabethtown Pennsylvania from October 1953 through November 1955. (Long Dickensian story) I didn't have polio. Watched the kids with what was then known as Infantile Paralysis go through rehab. It was the rough equivalent of being broken on the rack. I wouldn't wish it on an elected Democrat official.

I’m sorry for your experience. I hope your life and the life of all those kids turned out happier. I so remember Helen Hayes’ beautiful daughter dying so young. I remember my dear friend’s hideous scars up and down her legs - all the muscles destroyed. My brother and I got the vaccine and I support vaccines in general.

Bless you, FRiend.

Listen, ever since you dodged one of my initial questions, the rest has been entertainment for me. Don’t forget to check for SWAT under your bed when you tuck in for the night, sweetheart.

Then avoid Wikipedia and research at another source.
An anecdote is a non-scientific experience.

The antivaxxer kooks are competing to be the first with a kid with polio.

I have eyes and ears and a life. That tells me what I need to know. Please stick with your statistics and let me stick with my life experiences.

great question

And there are degrees of antivaxxers.

Some, like me wanted my babies to slowly receive the vaccines for the dangerous killers, diphtheria, typhoid, tetanus, pertussis, pneumovax, polio.

But the secondary shots, not so much: measles, mumps rubella, chicken box. the sexually transmitted diseases.

And I want the freedom to choose. And did.

And slowly over two years vaccinated them with the important ones.

You can pretend that your life experiences represent the complete picture. OK by me.

You’re an amateur, and trivial to deflect.

A nasty mouth on the internet - the bottom line of the pro-vaxxers. But then, without science, what else is there but personal abuse?

Save it for someone who cares, sweetheart.

You never answered one of my initial questions, and the rest following was just a circus act.

What's with the "sweetheart" crap, you pretending to be a goombah, you think it sounds tough? Do you see how far you've come from discussing vaccination issues? And now you're using Hillary circus quotes for insults.

Like I said, this is lightweight noise. You even reference yourself in generalities, rather than speak plain details. As a result, it's impossible to follow your points - tracking you is like reading marketing slogans on bumper stickers. Where did you learn all this juvenile posturing, and what kind of effectiveness do you imagine it has? You're absurd!

Setting aside that you didn't read the article, as I demonstrated in my comment #13 (but I didn't make a big deal of it, as many comment on threads without reading everything to its conclusion), my original question still stands (and is still unanswered):

But not to vaccinate your child against measles or whooping cough because you think the vaccination thing has gone too far?

So, are you planning on vaccinating your kids against measles and whooping cough, or not? If not, why not? And don't answer SWAT.

Maybe you should read comment #14. It comes after 13.

You're irrelevant. You live up to your name, but that's it. Great accomplishment - being rude. What a goal. Do you get a participation trophy? Or is it just a matter of giving your bosses what they want so they pay you?

There's a name for that, too.

While giving your kid Polio might be the Holy Grail of intentionally negligent parenting, it's hard to do. So most intentionally negligent parents have to settle for a lesser preventable disease to earn their antivaxxer street cred.
