@Roddio In the 1950s, #polio was TERRIFYING. Here I am in Quebec on the St. Lawrence Seaway, far from Massachusetts where polio was running rampant. Nobody knew how it spread, there was no vaccine, no cure, only a long future locked in an iron lung in a polio ward. My parents - probably most parents - were justifiably freaking out. Any MAGA folks old enough to propose a return to these dark days surely had THEIR polio vaccination so THEY’RE safe. Hell needs another circle for these ghouls.
@cassandra17lina @Roddio I knew several people back in the 1950s-60 suffering from the devastating effects of polio! It wasn’t a pretty sight!
@SupplySgt @cassandra17lina @Roddio I knew a guy in the 90s, in a wheelchair because he had it as a kid. He hung out at an arcade and often let all the kids know how important vaccines were.
