I am a believer in truth, and in the diligent scientists who developed the vaccines against polio, against Small pox, etc. etc. etc. I respect the high intelligence, and the skill that it takes to bring us this prevention. I worry that this virus will continue to mutate and could possibly reach the point of VERY DIRE CONSEQUENCES.
Me and mine will get a booster, if one is offered and recommended by those people who know more about immunity that we do.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Polio, interesting history. Dr Salk came up with an effective polio vaccine in 1953.
I was three years old. Parents used to live in fear that their kids would catch polio.
Depending on how much damage it did to you, it could mean living the rest of your life in a breathing device called an iron lung. Even then we had pet names for such horrors.
First of all Dr Salk gave the vaccine to the world and made nothing on it. Secondly, there was no debate. If, you wanted to go to school, and you were forced to go to school, you had to get the shot. If, I recall it was several shots boosters etc. Polio is gone in the US
except when we allow it to be imported.
Things have surely changed. Mom said we are going for a polio shot and we went.
There was no debate. I did not have a cell phone. Not sure if child protection services existed. Hum, if I didn't miss them. If, they didn't get married before having kids. If, they didn't work so hard for us. Surely, I could, I SHOULD sue them. POST TOILET TRAINING SYNDROME???????????
