“”I’m not quite old enough to remember when they closed the swimming pools because of polio epidemics . . . but EVERYBODY got their kids the polio vaccine because they remembered those days.””

Sorry - I am old enough to remember (71) and I’ve never been vaccinated against anything, nor my child, nor my siblings, nor their children, nor their children’s children. Exemptions can be obtained at schools if innoculations are against your beliefs. It’s a dangerous practice to presume to speak for EVERYBODY.

“”Sorry - I am old enough to remember (71)””

Have to clarify that I am the youngest of 4 - oldest is 80, all still living and in good health.

OK, I'll be very precise in my language -- everybody I knew, especially those of us who had had family and friends on the iron lung.

Like I said earlier, the 'herd immunity' allows some folks to have a free ride. But only a few folks, or the whole system breaks down.

Enjoy the ride. It wouldn't work if everybody thought like you.
