   The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

     My uncle John nearly died from COVID because he believes anti-vax bull💩.

     John is just the right age to have been one of the kids lined up here in the USA to receive the mandatory polio vaccine.

     His mother (my grandmother) had often talked about how the polio vaccine changed what it was like to be a parent in the 1950s. That fear, the worry, the terror — finally parents could let it go thanks to vaccines.

     We horrifically watch as life affirming science becomes a political football.
