    My father’s parents were told he’d die of polio in the hospital that night. He recovered. The vax was new when my mother got it. I exist because of vaccines and dumb luck. I hate them, every shithead antivax fuckwad for harming humanity.

      My grandmother got polio as an adult and suffered from post-polio syndrome. She lived to a ripe old age (mid 90’s), but had a significantly reduced quality of life.
