A look back at mass polio vaccinations of ‘50s, ‘60sIt was a different story in June 1959 when both commissioners issued a statement noting the “Area’s apathy toward polio shots held shame,” and sounded the alarm that many parents weren’t completing the three-shot inoculation, and some in the 1957-59 time-period had ignored the vaccine altogether. causing cases to rise. Those missing the shots were urged to get a “fourth shot,” or a booster shot, and urged adults up to age 40 to get the shot if “they are in close proximity to children” as the disease was passing forward from children to adults.
Our area was not unique in the lack of vaccinations by 1960, and there was concern that the Salk vaccination had perhaps a limited time period for coverage, and problems with the Cutter Laboratory in 1955 had scared some away from getting the vaccine.
Dr. Fauxi has no knowledge of history ... that he lived through.
I can't find the percentage of the total population vaxxed for polio between 1955 and 1963 but it is clear from historical references like this that it wasn't even close to the percentage of Americans vaxxed for covid in just 8 months.
Someone please punch this bass turd in the face!
