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

47. Amen and amen!

My maternal aunt died of polio. As a kid, I remember people who were crippled by the disease. They're all gone now and not replaced by new victims because we beat the disease with science and good sense. Two things lacking in later generations.

I was a veritable pin cushion as a child. We all were. Vax for everything. We all lined up at school for rubella vaccination and there were not complaints. Not once did I ever hear my parents discuss whether I needed those vaccinations or not. They lived the bad old days. Pre widespread vaccines and antibiotics. They knew well the scourge of what's now preventable disease.
