>> “The truth is the success of vaccines against polio, smallpox and other dread diseases” <<

.
No that’s the horse shit.

Polio was down to next to nothing before the vaccine brought it back to life. The SV40 virus in the polio vaccine has taken millions of lives, and continues to do so.

See ya nutcase!

Not for your benefit, since you seem to have an incurable case of wilful ignorance, but for the benefit of others, a real brief history of the polio vaccine:

“in 1953, there were 35,000 new cases of polio in the United States. In 1954, Salk’s vaccines were tested in massive trials sponsored by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. More than 1.8 million children-—called Polio Pioneers-—took the vaccine, took a placebo or took neither. The success of the trials was announced in a press conference in 1955 and by 1957, after mass immunization began, the United States had only 5,600 new cases. In 1962, the Sabin oral vaccine came into use and by 1964, there were only 121 new cases of polio reported in the United States. In 1979, the last case of indigenous polio occurred in the United States.”

So polio went from 35,000 cases / year to zero thanks to the vaccine. With the work of foundations and international aid groups, polio vaccine is on the verge of eliminating it worldwide.

Any of us born in the 1960s were spared a risk from this dread disease that crippled and killed many in prior generations.
