The anti-vaccinators should find out what polio is like. Polio was awful before the vaccine came. Especially hard on children.
Polio is bad. So is brain inflammation that causes brain damage is not good either.
Brain damage is a stated side effect of some vaccines; you are warned on the package.
My son was injured, but that does not make me “anti-vaxx”. I also cannot get vaccines or flu shots.
The number of vaccines should be discussed, more is not necessarily better.
The fact that it cannot be questioned means we have moved from science to dogma.
It is very complex and it needs additional research. Bernadine Healy, former head of CDC, made such a statement years ago.
Sharyl Attkinson did some reporting on this.

A CDC senior epidemiologist stepped forward last week to say that he and his CDC colleagues omitted data that linked MMR vaccine to autism in a 2004 study. The scientist, William Thompson, said “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information.”

Interesting and timely comment.
I grew up in the 1950s.
Yesterday, I was at my local upscale mall and saw a Middle Eastern family pushing a child in a wheelchair.
I literally can't recall the last time I saw a child in a wheelchair in America.
In the 1950s, you saw a kid in a wheelchair or with leg braces or crutches almost every week.
Exactly. My grandmother was very lucky she was able to walk and live a normal long life.
My late mother in law had polio as a child, and was permanently crippled because of it. One of her legs was smaller than the other, and she had to wear a brace and special shoe. She was one of the lucky ones--she never needed assistance breathing.
