Polio paralyzed the nation in the early parts of the 20th century, yet it killed less than 5% of the Covid-19 deaths.
The deadly polio epidemic and why it matters for coronavirus
So, I have a difficult time understanding how our society has veered so far ..
Maybe the pandemic is what we need so that people take this stuff seriously. Maybe when your wife/husband/child/parent etc dies from Covid people will finally wise up.
I just have a hard time imagining someone wandering around NYC in the middle of the Polio epidemic yelling ' I refuse to be protected ' ..... when there is a preventative vaccine available.
I am an American. I fought for my country; I love my country.
But Americans are stupid, sad to say.
While the rest of the world dies in the tens of thousands, begging for a dose of vaccine, there are people who have the opportunity to be protected and refuse to do so, thinking they are special.

Interesting that you chose the
Polio vaccine as an example. Polio effected everyone equally regardless of age or health. The Corona virus mainly impacts overweight people with preexisting health conditions. AIDS killed 700,000 Americans. If they had introduced an AIDS vaccine, would you have taken it?
