    Oh please. I got the polio vaccine shot in the 1950s. Polio absolutely haunted families back then - I knew kids who wore calipers, and read about people kept alive in iron lungs. My best friend was bedridden for a year with polio. The vaccine was welcomed, and now no-one gets polio.

    I have a friend who is antivax and her reason are spurious, based on something she read on the internet and a general suspicion of science. Needless to say she had the polio vaccine as a child. I feel superior to her because I AM.
