Getting tough with the anti-vaxxers

Yep, our parents had firsthand memory of the deaths, injuries, paralysis caused by disease. The anti-vaxxers are too stupid to foresee what really happens when Darwin has his way with us.
I presume when you mention paralysis you are referring to the Polio vaccine and
not that induced by trial and error vaccines.

With regard to Polio was it the vaccine that reduced the incidence of the disease or the knowledge that poor hygiene was the main cause of transmission and therefore the improvements in sanitation systems was significant in stopping the disease. I'm sure your parents can remember poor water and sanitation systems.

FDR had poor hygiene! Maybe his parents could not afford hot water, or fresh milk!
Are you telling us all that the sanitation systems in New York state were as good then 1882 as they are now? The polio virus wasn't discovered until 1908. The first pandemic in the USA was 1894. It's method of transmission wasn't discovered until sometime after that I.e. transmission by contact with fecal matter.

By all accounts, FDR caught polio at his summer place on Campobello Island in 1921. I have been there, and it is no little shack without running water!

Maybe he didn't wash his hands properly after working outside.

Although there is some doubt that he actually had Polio. Which given your assertion that he lived in a very clean, high sanitation environment it may not have been Polio.

They planned to ‘ride out the end of the world.’ They wound up lost at sea
  • Mellow spread Covid misinformation, delivering sermons about what he says was Satan’s plan to destroy society and false claims about the Covid-19 vaccine, which he called the “mark of the beast.”
  • Mellow it turns out had arranged for a couple of boat captains to sail him and his recruits to the South Pacific
  • They willingly jumped overboard, captain says
  • The guru winds up on an island

Poor Polynesians, not only did our COVID reach them, but our ignorant savages too!

I hope they don't eat any of those dirty stowaways, who knows what other disgusting diseases they carry besides madness.

FDR was part of a delegation that had visited a large Boy Scout encampment within the up to 21 day incubation period for paralytic polio. Also dinners, photo ops etc.
So the sanitation at the boy scout camp wasn't particularly good?

My understanding is that there wasn't a test available to confirm he had indeed contracted Polio.

Also the paralysis that he acquired and other symptoms weren't typical of Polio.
