I don’t agree with you no disrespect

I remember polio terror quite well ..don’t get in the water ...and have a close friend with it coming back in his upper body now in his 60s

The vaccine worked miracles simply put

Nothing more heart rending than a kid in an iron lung or hobbling about in leg braces and crutches

I agree with you on polio, and I think most of the anti-vax positions are luddite and moronic. But this vaccine has been rushed like no other.

It needs to be tested in China ad Iran first.

Except the cases of polio were almost over when the vaccine was available...
