    Polio vacine has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand... NOTHING. Apples And oranges...

    You want facts... 1976 swine flu shots.. That was a complete BLUNDER..

    With the fear of Covid, it being way more contagious than the flu, one side affect of all the masking and hand washing is the lower incidence of cold and seasonal flu.

    I wasn't referring to the polio vaccine or any other vaccine for that matter. I was referring to those that just said they weren't going to get vaccinated without giving a factual reason. Sorry if my post wasn't clear enough about that.

    And then there is this. Tokyo has double the population of New York city no mandatory lockdown. So I will hold off on getting the vaccine for something that has a 98% recovery rate.

    Add on to this more people working from home (or, unfortunately, unemployed), changing their shopping habits, being around a much smaller number of people in general, and there is a reduction in exposure opportunities. I'm also curious if more people received the flu shot this year as well as how good of a job they did in predicting which strains would be the most prominent and it was developed to target.

    Again, you go ahead and go first. You can copy and paste all the snippets from different CDC information sites and vaccine manufacturers you like, lots of information there but not necessarily the truth.

    That is somewhat misleading though. Technically, if you figure the amount of deaths in the US with the total number of cases, the death rate for Covid is between 1.5 and 2%, BUT, there are other very dangerous affects from this virus, so although people recover, there are other long term affects, some of which are landing people back in the hospital for blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, chronic lung disease, inflammatory disease, and even brain damage/behavioral problems. It is even more scary when you consider that. IMO, it's preferable not to ever get this virus.

    It's so strange. The absolute top tier of society has been working tirelessly to develop this vaccine. It's been tested, it works, it's passed the FDA. Yet, folks would rather take medical advice from memes off Facebook or the alarmist media outlets. Yep, fairys and pixie dust will keep you safe!!!

    2020- the year of misinformation..

    And that underscores the futility there is in discussing anything like this. We can't even agree what is truth, and what is false. What is responsible for that? Social media posts, Youtube videos that don't stand up to critical review, and lack of journalistic standards for truth, integrity, and common decency. Conspiracy theories abound.

    The whole polio story is sensational at best.
    Yale school of medicine:

    “Polio is an intestinal infection spread by contact with fecal waste. The virus enters the body through the mouth, travels down the digestive tract and is excreted in the stool. Usually the infection is slight, with minor symptoms. In a small number of cases—about one in 100—the virus invades the central nervous system, destroying the motor neurons that stimulate the muscle fibers to contract.

    In truth, polio was never the raging epidemic portrayed by the media, not even at its height in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Ten times as many children would be killed in accidents in these years, and three times as many would die of cancer. What had changed following World War II was the incidence of polio in the United States as well as the rising age of the victims, a quarter of whom were now older than 10. From 1940 to 1944, reported polio cases doubled to eight per 100,000, doubled again to 16 per 100,000 between 1945 and 1949, and climbed to 25 per 100,000 from 1950 to 1954, before peaking at 37 per 100,000 in 1952. “The United States had never experienced a higher crest of the epidemiological wave,” a journalist noted of the 57,000 reported cases that year, “and never would again.””

    People get sick from all kinds of viruses and diseases that don’t kill them. Same is true with Covid. 98.7% recovery and survival rate.

    you’re almost funny with that comment, you’ll never prove any different.

    and before that, the human experimentation that led to 40,000 increased cases of polio due to the vaccine.

    The people that want the vaccine don't want to accept the decisions of the people that don't want the vaccine....that's what it looks like to me.........should'nt both sides accept the decision of the other ?
