I am not discounting that the polio vaccination did much to eradicate the disease. That does not mean it’s the only thing that currently keeps the disease at bay. It is the hot water, the soap, and better hygiene of today’s world.
I think in some ways you could compare the vaccination industry to unions, at one point in time, they were a service to the American worker, now they are a service only to themselves.
At one point vaccinations were about killing diseases, now they are more a service to pharma companies than to the American child.
“It is the hot water, the soap, and better hygiene of today’s world.” ...keeping polio at bay.
Then in our pre-indoor plumbing history it should have been much much worse but the great killers were yellow fever and influenza.
Where the better hygiene would have made a real difference was in the handling of the diapers of babies receiving the oral live vaccine by adults.
“At one point vaccinations were about killing diseases, now they are more a service to pharma companies than to the American child.”
Nonsense! My child not choking to death with whooping cough or spending a life time crippled is worth more to me than all the financial gain any company could garner, my child not being a carrier of disease is important to everyone especially, ESPECIALLY those unvaccinated children.
