   ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Don't want to give your kid a polio vaccine?

   Perhaps you don't know about the "iron lung" that patients had to live in 24/7, for weeks, months, a lifetime. A lot of folks don't know, for real.

   Is that want you want? Because THIS - these mid-1950s photos - will be the consequence. No kidding. Had a friend who spent part of her childhood in one. Then leg braces.
