Tell that to the sufferers of polio and smallpox...oh wait, basically eliminated by the use of vaccines.
polio...smallpox??? Never heard of ‘em!!!!!
Or go to third world countries where children routinely die or are maimed by diseases we never see here...
yeah, that first polio vaccine was a real winner!
Polio was on the decline for years. The number of polio infections was about 32,000 a year at its peak. And most of them were of the very mid variety.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating not vaccinating our kids. But I am saying that the first attempt at the vaccine killed a lot of people.
AND, it was not the scourge epidemic that people today think it was.
Small pox was another story.
