I’m from the first American generation that didn’t experience polio. And that wonderful thing is due to the Salk/Sabin vaccines.
Properly vetted vaccines work. Unfortunately, folks like Dr. Fauci tried to push poorly vetted vaccines on us. And understandably, that caused many folks to question all vaccines.
We were lucky to have Drs. Salk and Sabin. We were unlucky to have Dr. Fauci.
I grew up outside Boston in the early 1950’s and in the hot summer, running under the lawn sprinkler to cool off was prohibited by Mom as were trips to the amusement park. The disease was at its high point then, and in hindsight, it probably was a good decision by her.
