I’d rather not make it a political issue. My children all grew up having vaccines before attending school. There were exceptions for health and religious concerns. The polio vaccine from the 1950’s saved thousands of lives ever year, no more Iron Lungs, wheelchairs crutches or living in crippled children homes away from their parents and siblings. My extended family had three individuals that were severely affected by Polio. Their lives were never the same…
Every state had schools for the deaf and blind that warehoused people with the after affects of measles and chicken pox mainly where their mothers’ became infected while pregnant Those children were doomed to live out their whole lives in a facility separated from their families. (From birth to old age and death)
Some of the other vaccines were DTP and MMR and Chicken Pox. It was a relief to know that our children wouldn’t be born blind, deaf, brain damaged, crippled or dead due to these horrible diseases.
