    No one even gets polio anymore, who needs vaccines?

    This would be a funny bit of sarcasm if there weren’t whole hordes of people actually making this “argument” for real.

      And even worse, polio has started making a comeback due to undervaccination. It was never actually eradicated.

        My grandma was a nurse in the iron lung ward, and when I was 16 I had a friend who lived through polio … his legs and right arm were shriveled but he could still use crutches for short distances.

        The fuck anyone should ever want to live through those times again.
