I'm old enough to remember children my age in iron lungs and wearing leg braces. Today it's hard to describe the rejoicing and excitement we felt when the new Sabin sugar cube vax was released in 1960. If you've lived through polio you know how awful it was. Mon dieu, who wants to go back to that?
let's also remember that there are two samples of smallpox still in existence (one in Russia and one at the CDC) and no one under the age of 40 is vaccinated against it.
Oh yeah, that’s right. I just tried to find any data on how many doses we have available, but no luck. IIRC the problem with the smallpox vaccine is the difficulty scaling production for a pandemic. No idea if that’s the case for the mpox vax.
I nearly died from Bulber polio prior to the Salk vaccine. No more polio summers, iron loungs and paralyzed polio victims after Salk. Yes, I am that old lol.
a friend of mine got polio when I was young. I'm 83. Iron lungs were a real fear for me. Seeing that possibility for young people now is beyond belief.
Are there not quite a lot of countries that require visitors to have been vaccinated against at least some of these diseases? If so, Americans will have either to get vaxxed or accept they can’t enter those countries, won’t they?
2025 may prove the turning point when MMR vaccines supplanted fentanyl as the #1 smuggled “substance” across the southern boarder, and cartels shifted organizational communication priorities and were able to take the high ground as humanitarian relief org
Oh, I’m sure it’s all just a huge coincidence! The quid pro quo whispers are completely unfounded—Kennedy just happened to pause his campaign, throw his support behind Trump, and then—surprise!—he’s picked for a top government role.
No worries! The statistics that GAO office will produce with Tucker Carlson at the helm will show that Dear Leader has eradicated all infectious diseases in just 6 months!
I'm in TX...as it is parents are allowed to not vax and get permission to not do so...At the kindergarten by kids went to 5 years ago a full 50% of the kids were unvaxed according to the principal. This will only get worse...

Id say it makes me sick, but with RFK Jr head of HHS, getting sick will be a death sentence
No one's going to take your vaccines away.
If you like your vaccines you can keep your vaccines.
