    I know right?! My body does has a natural immune system sweety, I don’t need to listen to scientists. No one even gets polio anymore, who needs vaccines?? I’ll just sawy limb off when I get gangreen from a broken limb. What’s that? The same science that protects me from.infection is the science that creates vaccines? Ruh-roh, raggy!

      This would be a funny bit of sarcasm if there weren’t whole hordes of people actually making this “argument” for real.

        And even worse, polio has started making a comeback due to undervaccination. It was never actually eradicated.

          My grandma was a nurse in the iron lung ward, and when I was 16 I had a friend who lived through polio … his legs and right arm were shriveled but he could still use crutches for short distances.

          The fuck anyone should ever want to live through those times again.
