Polio the Next "Pandamic"?

[Babagounj]

Agreed. The wealthy nations would be even better off raising the standard of living in the poorest nations.

A wealth tax would do that.

That has already been tried.
It didn't work because of all the corruption that exists in the poorer nations.

I hate making mistakes, I proof read but some always slip by.

Ricky's "u" and "ur" really bother me sometimes

I often just try to reply as quick as I'm thinking, and don't take the time. Misspelling in a thread title is extra embarrassing, but I'm over it.

Already got it boy. It was standard when I was a boy, when men were men and vaccines were vaccines.

It's still standard. Right?

My generation just missed the polio epidemic, but we were able to see the fallout. Every community had several cripples, maimed by the virus, stumbling around town. When I was five, this was explained, as we watched a wabbling cripple on crutches struggle to get over the curb onto the sidewalk.

Polio was a horrible disease, but I believe it was made a whole lot worse because of unsanitary conditions. When polio was bad was before homes had indoor plumbing. In the cities the feces would run down the edges of the streets and the children couldn’t help to get in it while outside playing in the summer time. Also people didn’t have running water to keep their hands clean. This is part of the reason why it’s so bad in third world countries. Indoor plumbing pretty much took care of the polio crises. Cases really started to fall when that happened right before the vaccine came out. So, in other words, I don’t think we have to worry about here unless the strain has been “doctored” some how.

You can refuse them. They want it to be standard.

Get vaccinated.

Nah, I value my immune system.

Yeah right, I have noticed over the years that most men don’t wash their hands. Wipe, wipe, then go eat a steak? Yuk!

It builds up your immunity. Kids need to grow up eating more dirt.

I didn’t know any poop eaters…..maybe in your neck of the woods.
I’m just kidding.

What do you think is in the dirt?

 

[Babagounj]

Do you think one of those bused in immigrants might have started all this ?

When will the government promote healthy lifestyles and building stronger immune systems through diet?

For polio?

 

[Dum preloader]

For polio?

Good point but for anything. Notice how gyms were closed during the pandemic but liquor stores weren't?

And now doctors are concerned that many are still drinking heavily.
