Today in 1955, the polio vaccine developed by Jonas Salk was declared safe and effective following nearly a year of field trials undertaken by about 1.8 million American child volunteers dubbed “polio pioneers.”

I remember getting chicken pox as a kid. I'll never forget that crusty smell of Calamine. Pure misery. Itch in places humans were never meant to scratch.
There's NO reason to make littles & seniors suffer & scar.

Imagine being stuck on your back, locked in a giant metal tube, never being able to scratch that particular itch...FOREVER

Drumpf has made a LOT of extremely bad choices for his cabinet...
But of all these - RFKJr is the one we the people MUST STOP.
By any means. At any cost.

So fucking angry. My mother contracted all 3 viruses during the '56 Houston epidemic. She was a healthy adult. MD would not give her a vaccine because "only children were getting it." Bulbar, the worst of the viruses put her 1 year in iron lung, 1 in rehab. #fuckpolio
