I grew up during the Polio scare. And, it was a real threat because Polio was a devastating affliction. When the vaccine came out all of us youngsters were made to receive the vaccinations. Also, during the school year we also had small pox vaccinations.

I am still alive because I looked in the mirror and checked. I believe the wrinkled puss staring back at me is due in part to those vaccinations. In those days many of the diseases we don't have now, were prevalent then.

I am alive because I did NOT get the small pox vaccine until I was 18 and joined the Army. Due to a skin condition, it would have likely killed me when I was a child. At least that is why my mom (RN) and my doctor did not give me the vaccine.

That was in the days when the government could be trusted to some extent. Technology has come so far they can now conceal things in your vaccines on a microscopic scale. Back in the 90's a GPS unit could be implanted in you that was the size of a grain of rice. No telling how small they have been able to make them at this point. Now they'll create an epidemic, force everyone to get the vaccination with a hidden trojan in it. Its a fine line.

You make a very good point. It's important to remember those days. There are still a few iron lung patients alive today who contracted polio in pre-vaccination times.

Unfortunately, it is human nature for many folks to forget about a lurking danger, once that danger is no longer front and center.

So did I.

I assume you mean the polio scare of the early ‘50s, that was caused by the Salk vaccine.
