Better sarcasm than the rest, but begs the question...

Anti-vaxxers aren’t necessarily opposed to all vaccines, esp those shown to be effective.

I’m agnostic about vaccines as they stand now because I spent my life in academia and know how dishonest “the literature” is on everything that relates to all things political.

I used to wonder why my public health students were some of the most liberal...I naively thought they dealt with facts.

Much current public health deals w/hiding the ill effects of illegal immigration in border areas. I believe polio is back... not that this is publicized much. Leprosy, too!

That’s funny

Late night chuckle...out loud

Woke up the old lady

Man she kicks hard to be so little

She’d kicked harder if bama had lost

Interesting that you see some humor in Polio. /s

We weren't laughing so much about it back around 1950.

By the way, here at the University of Pittsburgh Dr. Jonas Salk discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines.

"In 1948, he undertook a project funded by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the organization that would fund the development of a vaccine, to determine the number of different types of polio virus. Salk saw an opportunity to extend this project towards developing a vaccine against polio, and, together with the skilled research team he assembled, devoted himself to this work for the next seven years.

The field trial set up to test the Salk vaccine was, according to O'Neill, "the most elaborate program of its kind in history, involving 20,000 physicians and public health officers, 64,000 school personnel, and 220,000 volunteers." Over 1,800,000 school children took part in the trial." (Wiki)
