   @bmacDonald94 @stevewfolds @kcarruthers The last man to live in an iron lung, Paul Alexander, died last month. I was in hospital as a child with a girl who had come to Australia as a Vietnamese refugee with polio. The effects of polio are close enough to recent history that the the thought of this preventable, eradicated disease returning should truly frighten folks.

     @bmacDonald94 yes indeed and it is sad to see them destroying hard fought public health initiatives for ideological reasons
