Also - my mom was born in '44... Would she have received this vax? I'm not familiar with what age they would have been given at back then.
Sugar cubes...that's why I never tried LSD

It says it was not in the oral vaccine, for what it's worth. :seeya:
O/T, but not, but I had I think she was a biochem professor who told us that HIV was birthed via the polio vaccine. Did anyone else ever hear that?
GL, honestly I don't think they did. However, they got hit up for everything else thus that generation having that big *** scar on their arm.
O - M - G! - gotta go read...
Wonder how it affected that generation?
FWIW, I lost a step-parent to 'Agent Orange' contamination. j/s
Its all BS, imo.
Dave Mihalovic. He is one of those anti science, anti vaccine people.

The number of people who contracted paralytic poliomyelitis is actually low and it had a much lower mortality rate than most other diseases. There was sustained panic about it because it had the tendency to lead to paralysis which people feared.Before the vaccine, polio was a rampant disease. My mom's cousin had it. She caught it in the 40's and spent the rest of her life in a wheel chair. It affected a lot of children.
I agree with you that the issue of vaccines is always fraught with controversy. Sabin and Salk were lifesavers for those of us in our late 40's and beyond. There are STILL people living in a machine called an iron lung. Does not operate like the modern mechanical ventilators do.. Barbaric devices in the 21st century and a fate so terrible I cannot imagine.
OTOH, I do not want Mesothelioma or Osteosarcoma. I had the oral sugar cube polio vaccine when I was 5 years old. It may or may not have been the live vaccine due to the date being right at the cut-off period for the contamination with monkey renal cancer cells.

I'm one of "that generation." First I find out I was exposed to Camp LeJeune water. Now I find out about this. Guess I'm a sitting duck.
