Polio had almost disappeared PRIOR to the introduction of the vaccine. The inventors of the polio vaccines, Drs. Salk and Sabin, have testified that massive immunizations do not do any good any actually cause disease.

I was overseas where yellow fever ran through the population killing thousands, me and my family who had had the shots never got sick.

You and your family more than likely practiced better sanitation, ate better food, and prepared food in safer ways than those other people..

I had strep throat a few times, I got the shot, I didn't develop scarlet fever.

You may have received a shot of antibiotics, which DO work, but there is no vaccine for scarlet fever. I've had a bad sore throat more than once when I was a kid, yet never took antibiotics for strep throat, and I never developed scarlet fever..

The articles I post simply relate historical facts. Opinions of experts in the field such as Drs. Salk and Sabin are also presented, as well as historical evidence that shows those who had been vaccinated against smallpox were more likely to die from the disease than those that weren't.

Superstitions were the basis of the vaccine, and MANY doctors of the time argued against it. I've shown some of those concerns, you SHOULD try to take the time to read them.

If you, and your buddies, don't want the shots, don't get them, but quit trying to use cut and paste quackery as an answer, as a valid reason, not to get the shots.

Do you even know what quackery is? Read up on Edward Jenner, "father" of the smallpox vaccine. Now that IS a quack of the highest degree. He took ONE experiment and announced to the world he had found a vaccine for smallpox, even when REAL doctors (he wasn't even a doctor) told him that he was wrong as they had seen MANY people that had contracted smallpox even though they had previously had cowpox. He simply did it for the money and fame, damn the truth..

Because the empirical evidence simply overwhelms your quackery.

Do you even know what empirical evidence IS? I've posted MUCH empirical evidence, you haven't posted ANY. Show us some historical facts, show us some experimental evidence. You bloviate about quackery, yet you practice it freely. In fact, you operate much like the father of vaccination, Edward Jenner. Lots of baseless assertions, yet no real evidence or facts to back your claims.
