My wife's friend is a nurse in Philadelphia.
Last week, they had a child with polio in there that lost mobility, and the parents were angry at the health care workers not doing enough to help their child
The parents are well educated and middle class anti vaxers.
Just imagine that, in 2026, in united States.
My mother would have been shocked if she was alive to hear that there are parents today, refusing to vaccinate their children against polio.
Unbelievable.

Two drops 💧💧 of the #polio vaccine can protect a child for life.
@ajames_p along with @UNICEFAfg colleagues joined the launch of Afghanistan's first polio campaign of 2026, which will reach 12.6 million children from 13 to 16 April.
Together, we can #EndPolio.

Was recently speaking to someone “old” who was saying back in the 1940’s everyone knew someone in callipers. #polio

Reminder that in the UK in 1900, before mass vaccination for childhood diseases began, 20% of all babies died before their fifth birthday (from diseases we currently vaccinate them against).
RFK jr's appointee wants to kill roughly 20% of all newborn Americans "to improve the breed" or something.
(Not including those paralysed for life by polio.)
