Born in 1946, I had measles, mumps, chickenpox probably rubella, and s friend's little sister had polio. My three millennial offspring had chickenpox before the vaccine was available. My older daughter works in public health implementing an international HPV vaccine initiative.
Go to any graveyard! Look at the dates before 1960. How many were children?? Do we see those deaths now? NO. PROVEN SCIENCE people. Nothing to debate!!
This is why history as a subject is so valuable ,despite the derision with which most people today treat it. The lessons learned do long ago are being ignored. Until the first child again faces that terrible scourge.
a close friend was stuck by polio as a small child and left to live the rest of his life in a wheelchair as a result. as a result of a preventable disease from a modern-day vaccine. science people. believe in it
We should not take cognitively impaired people who decide to protest against something as having a serious position. Time and success have proven vaccines critical to human health and survival. There is no debate. There is only one side to this story—vaccines work.
I had measles in the 1950's. Horrible. Anti-vaxxers and morons like RFK Jr never learned how we got to this safer place. They're willfully ignorant and arrogant.
MAGA seems to want to bring back the plague, polio .. etc and lower lifespan of Americans. Might this be an economic strategy to reduce Social Security payments? 😳
The only childhood vax I was the right age to get, aside from polio, was rubella. I got the measles, mumps, chicken pox, and whooping cough as a kid. It was sheer misery. Who would wish that on their children?
Wiki: Andrew Wakefield is a fraudster, discredited academic, anti-vaccine activist, and former physician.
He was involved in The Lancet MMR autism fraud, a 1998 study that fraudulently claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.
I am thankful my son and I are vaccinated. Being in the military means going, at times all over the world where diseases are more present.
Vaccines saved billions of lives.
I cannot imagine some idiot not supporting vaccines.
Elections have consequences. My unborn grandchild WILL get the polio vaccine.

The adults who benefitted from their childhood vaccines now want to rob their children and grandchildren of those vaccines. I can't understand these people.
Whooping cough was also quite deadly to babies and anyone not at full strength. I got it because my immunity wore off. We didn’t worry about boosters when most people got vaccinated. It took my full strength to clear my airway. Mucus is very thick and leaves a tiny gap to breathe in to cough.
I’m 72. I remember kids on crutches and leg braces, having to wear those special shoes. I remember the iron lung, which to my little kid self was even more terrifying than crutches or braces.
Can anyone with even one brain cell believe that this anti-vax thing that is based on pure bullshit is even an issue? Sure, a very small percentage of people have adverse reactions to vaccines, but to listen to morons like RFK, Jr. and brainless MAGA idiots to make this an issue is sickening.
I don’t care for that photo. Undercuts what is already a very meek headline in mild, modest support of a lifesaving medical advancement the value of which is not subject to debate in any meaningful sense.
I am a boomer, fully vaxxed, with five siblings also vaxxed. We were rarely sick as children except for the common cold, and never hospitalized. Vaccines do work.
I had all the childhood diseases, except German measles, and even had some twice because of different strains on different continents where I lived. I remember them vividly and I wouldn't wish even one on any child. Thank God for vaccines.

Get those vaccinations!
I was so happy to vaccinate my children against whooping cough and diphtheria and tetanus.

Look him up
The only vaccine that works comes in a red pill and is distributed daily by Joe Rogan.
The rest is just liberal propaganda spouted by godless commies who hate America. And don't get me started on fluoride!
See how easy that is... 🤪👍🙄
