Polio was much more serious, and it’s seriousness did not increase with age and pre-existing conditions; so people were scared and willing to assume the risks. Not so with COVID.
In New Zealand when I was 5 they inoculated every child at my elementary school for polio...They marched us all down to the local high school and lined us up...
That happened for 3 years from 1954 and on then we had 2 years of the nice red drink...
But not one child died from the polio shot nor were any of us hospitalized etc...nor did any get polio...
Yes Fauci if you were there then pushing your Dr Fauci’s Elixir people would have been suspicious of the polio shot too...
