@tietoukka.bsky.socialTo suggest, against all evidence, that vaccination against polio should be optional, is malicious and criminal. An act of public health sabotage. It shows a void of actual respect for individuals' autonomy in life. It is indifference to human suffering.

"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"23,000 people the model predicts could be paralyzed by polio over 25 years if no one is getting the vaccine"
"That 23,000 is the model’s average."
"The model results range from 0 to more than 70,000 cases of paralytic polio."
