My opinion - Anti-vaxxers who weren't alive when polio was rampant should STFU about vaccines

84. You're so right

I was born in 1953 too. I remember when they came to the school to give every kid a shot. I remember not understanding why my parents were excited for me to get stuck. March of dimes was founded for that. Salk took seven years to create a polio vaccine, now with mRNA research a vaccine for Covid was created in less than two years, a medical miracle! Since it involved nothing but mRNA it's much less likely to cause an adverse reaction. This is research that the government (RFK jr) wants to end. I still can't believe that Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent claims of vaccines causing autism still holds sway with someone who used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.
Medical science has let me stay alive in the last decade with procedures and treatments that didn't exist when I was born. I want even more improvements for my grandkids.
Lastly to those people who think avoiding vaccines will prevent the government from following you with nanoparticle tracking devices, maybe you shouldn't have that cell phone on you either.
