1. Horrible as this in, in a way it’s a just result they’re doing it to themselves
2. Goes to my theory that the Nazi doctors were not an exception or an aberration; they were what doctors are. Deranged and totally unscientific.
They just love that 7th century AD!
So they are against vaccinations? Why don’t they renounce the computer, cell phones and automobiles? They should give up airplanes, too, or at least pay more attention to learning how to land them.
I’m not even sure if my Parents were told I was being given the Vaccine at School.
I think I was just given a shot. An amazing part of baby boomers childhoods. Terrible tales of iron lungs. I had a friend who was never vaccinated and she ended up with the dread disease. She survived quite well but her legs were absolutely ruined.
They say you can’t cure stupid but evidently you can make a religion out of it.
“As I recall, they handed out pink sugar cubes.”
The “pink sugar cubes” was the oral Sabin vaccine. The Salk vaccine is the injected version.
I was in a transitional group who received 2 doses of Salk, and then a dose of Sabin (it was in a little plastic vial with a sweet liquid in it).
That is an amazing bit of life history. Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another reason to eliminate all Muzzies from immigrating to the USA. The proposed Senate bill authorizes increases in Muzzie immigration quotas.
Yet we continue to let third world “immigrants” just walk in carrying who knows what diseases and it is never mentioned because feelings would be hurt in the new PC world.
Amazing.
I had a childhood friend who had Polio as an infant. Affected one leg and he walked with a very noticeable limp. He wore a leg brace until he was a teenager. The brace was quite a contraption.
