So CDC questioning the need for polio vaccine now.
Chair of the vaccine advisory panel says public might want to reconsider the use of polio vaccines, arguing individual freedoms should be a north star of the panel.
Fuck individual freedoms regarding vaccines! Public health regulations for the past 60 years stopped polio from paralyzing & killing children!

@thezenlady I only know one person who had polio. He was a kid in my grade school class. He caught polio - probably by swimming in a lake into which the local septic tanks drained - prior to 1960. (I was born in 1954 - we lined up in grade school for polio and smallpox vaccines.) The thought of not having grade school kids (if not younger,) vaccinated is crazy. Vaccines are why you probably donβt know anyone who had polio.

Also born in 1954 and one boy in my grade in kindergarten and grade school whose legs were partially paralyzed by polio - not sure how he caught it. These anti-vaxxers are crazy (and you know this pediatric cardiologist is of an age where he was vaccinated as a child)

@thezenlady One of my college roommatesβ mom had polio which they think she may have contracted in a hospital. She had to wear a leg brace. It came back to her in later life as post polio syndrome. It would be criminal to end polio vaccines.

@thezenlady there is no cure for polio. Parents are playing games with the lives of their children

@thezenlady
The pure unbridled entitlement of these people is just sickening.They get to prance around breaking things that protected us from things our grandparents knew firsthand
