Polio is back too. No word on smallpox yet.
Jesus. My grandmother had polo as a child and was wheelchair bound for life because of it. And it's coming back. All because some idoits think they know better than decades of science.
You don't get it man, it's like the man, man. He lies to make money so he can mine gold for the aliens since they all took over positions of power and demand gold for their... Planet? So the vaccines actually make you a dwarf miner that wants nothing more than to mine gold for the aliens, or the rich dude, for the aliens, yeah that one.
It's so obvious sheep! All you need to do is open your eyes and listen to the totally free and not biased at all PatriotMuricaPatriotMomsBasementPatriotReport.Freedom/liberty podcast! He's just one of us so he can be trusted™
In today's internet, I really hope you dropped the /s
Is polio really back? I haven't heard anything about it in years except the drive to finally eradicate it.

Cheers. Well that's depressing.
Unlike smallpox, no other global campaign to eradicate diseases has ever happened.
There are a few others, but they have succeeded yet. Anti-vaxxers aren't helping.
It is remarkable in its own way, though. We live in the only time period of human history where we can plausibly say an entire disease has gone away, and not just for rich people.
Not really. There are some vaccine related cases but nothing naturally occurring that I know of.
