I’m glad I took the polio vaccine
Im glad I had smallpox vaccine.
“I’m glad I took the polio vaccine”
Yes, that disease is a real scourge. I swear I took it on a sugar cube, so I think that’s the live one that’s causing the problems now. But hubby, who is older than me, said he’d gotten both of them, so maybe I did too and just don’t remember.
Why? Did you know anyone that actually was sick with Polio? I was born in the early 1950’s and I knew of nobody who got sick with it. From what I read, it disappeared because humans became immune and the virus burned itself out, like every other disease humankind encounters.
It is JMO, and my Mom disagreed, so I took it. I remember the hysteria as adults talked about it, but it was as an epidemic like TB, with which I only knew one person to have, and she was an adopted girl from Korea, within the first few years of her living in the US.
