Open borders mean that viruses “got rights” too!
I really, really hope our Arab and Islamic friends aren’t planning to partake of any innoculation against Polio; whether by needle or by sugar cube. Because those medications were invented by Jews.
We worked as hard as we could for the March of Dimes, selling salt and filling those little cards with dimes.
A few years later, I remember us all lined up in the hall of the school..waiting for our dose of the vaccine.
It’s a miracle that with all of the wars and natural disasters, people living in refugee camps, invaders crossing national borders with minimal restriction and mercenary soldiers always on the move that there hasn’t been a really horrific outspread of diseasy by now.
Ping!
My late mother in law had to wear a leg brace because of polio.
I remember my mother taking us to a big room (probably a school gym) when I was 4, to get the sugar cube vaccine back in the early 1960s.
Polio is a nasty disease. I pray that it does not get reintroduced into the U.S. Idiots like Jenny McCarthy with their anti-vaccination campaigns are directly responsible for the fact that 5-10% of our kids are not protected, and could easily become reservoirs for this horrible disease.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
