Because polio and tetanus are real diseases.

Actually, we now know that most poliovirus infections are asymptomatic, and flaccid paralysis or death occurs in less than 1% of those infected with poliovirus. Based on current medical knowledge, and freeper antivaxxer statements, it seems clear than if a disease like polio spread today, many would dismiss it as a fake disease. The internet would be filled with crazy conspiracy theories about the virus, the vaccine, the mark of the beast, Bill Gates and the new world order.

That’s really a self-correcting problem in the long term, if you think about it. Just takes the right bug to come along.

Actually, we now know that most poliovirus infections are asymptomatic, and flaccid paralysis or death occurs in less than 1% of those infected with poliovirus.

1% of infected experiencing paralysis or death is still almost twice as high as they CLAIM COVID causes, and the reported claims for COVID deaths are about as reliable as the current presidential vote totals.

Also, remind me: did we have country-wide lockdowns and mask mandates for polio? I can't remember.
