@tietoukka.bsky.socialP.S. The deplorable individuals -- #BraindeadKennedy #MarcoRubio #ElonMusk etc. -- working for the evil Trump II regime are a global threat, de facto mass murderers, enemies of all peoples, also in the context of polio:
@tietoukka.bsky.social"In 2025, Lillard suffered an episode when she struggled to breathe when a tornado caused a power outage and her generator failed. Her husband saved her life by giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until emergency assistance arrived."
@tietoukka.bsky.socialMs. Lillard, who slept in an iron lung/ventilator every night:
"In a 2021 interview segment about her by National Public Radio, Radio Diaries, and All Things Considered, she said she was having trouble finding replacement parts to keep her machine running."
@tietoukka.bsky.socialShe struggled to call 911. She described the experience as "like being buried alive almost, you know – it's so scary.""
@tietoukka.bsky.socialBack to Ms. Lillard, who contracted polio in 1953:
"Early in the 21st century, Lillard became trapped in her iron lung when an ice storm came through Oklahoma and her emergency generator failed to start, leaving her trapped in the device without heat.
@tietoukka.bsky.socialThe same may also occur years after a nonparalytic polio infection.
The precise mechanism that causes PPS is unknown. It shares many features with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, but unlike that disorder, it tends to be progressive and can cause loss of muscle strength."
@tietoukka.bsky.socialAccording to her sister, "Lillard’s death certificate lists chronic pulmonary failure and post-polio syndrome as her causes of death."
Wait, 'post-polio syndrome', what's that?
@tietoukka.bsky.socialAnother survivor from the pre-vaccine era:
Martha Lillard (d. 2026)
"The last known US person living with polio and relying on an iron lung has died aged 78"
@tietoukka.bsky.socialIn the same year, because people were not vaccinated against polio, because there was no vaccine available yet:
"the worst recorded US outbreak in 1952 killed over 3000"
(note that Salk tested his experimental vaccine on himself and his family in 1953):
@tietoukka.bsky.socialJust like FDR, Mr. Alexander contracted polio before there was a vaccine against it.
"contracting polio in 1952 at the age of six"
"He almost died in the hospital before a doctor noticed he was not breathing and rushed him into one of the lungs."
@tietoukka.bsky.socialHere's another celebrated American polio survivor: Paul Alexander (d. 2024):
"was recently recognised by the Guinness World Records as the “longest iron lung patient”"
@tietoukka.bsky.socialYes, you guessed it right:
"At this time [in 1921], there was no vaccine for polio -- the vaccine was not available until 1955 when it was developed by Jonas Salk at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine."
@tietoukka.bsky.social"Many Americans were unaware that their president had to spend much of his time in a wheelchair."
"was generally photographed from above the waist; there are only a few photos of him in a wheelchair"
@tietoukka.bsky.social"Although dealing with this crippling disease was difficult, many believe that his personal struggles helped shape FDR, both as a man and as a president."
However, it doesn't seem that his paralysis was celebrated during his lifetime:
@tietoukka.bsky.socialCelebrated polio survivors in the USA:
"[Franklin D. Roosevelt] was diagnosed with infantile paralysis, better known as polio, in 1921, at the age of 39.
