According to someone in social services/public health the illegals do vaccinate. What they don’t do is practice good hygiene. Indicates that the anitivaccination crowd may be correct when stating that indoor plumbing and the cleanliness it brought had as much to do with ending polio as did the vaccine. Polio is spread through fecal matter. I assume many other diseases are as well.

Toilets, toilet paper and hand washing are not important parts of third world countries-they can baffle the newly arrived.

“...when stating that indoor plumbing and the cleanliness it brought had as much to do with ending polio as did the vaccine.”

Utterly idiotic. You cannot back that up with the stats. The vaccine was licensed in 1955. The annual number of polio cases fell from 35,000 in 1953 to 5,600 by 1957. By 1961 only 161 cases were recorded in the United States.

Tell us about the explosion of cleanliness from 1955 to 1961.

This is simply ignorant moms needing a cause. Like Alar in the apples.
