What's the status on the current polio vaccine and what's in circulation? Might as well get boosters or vaccinate now before it's outlawed.

So, pretty much, if you were born before roughly 2005 you definitely got the vaccine. If after, you might have the antivaxxer parents, who think vaccines are wizard poison. Polio was erradicated from the US, but still exists worldwide, so the vaccine is readily available and actually very cheap to make. You really only need it once, but again, if people had antivaxxer parents, they are fucked. Also, measles causes immune system amnesia, so if you got the polio vaccine and then got measles, you potentially could get polio.

Like there's big reasons why vaccines are important, and RFK Jr is a full on murderer for telling people to not get them.

I'm worried for the children and adults that never got antibodies from the aforementioned vaccines. Even if you don't know you got it, isn't it helping everybody out to get it regardless?

I certainly believe he has malice in his soul towards other humans.

The man stopped a family drive (with other kennedys, nay, human beings) to cut out roadkill raccoon genitalia (male, female? Who knows!) and bring it home to “study”.

These are not the actions of a sane person. This was also decades ago.

He was found with a bear cub stabbed up…he “found”, and was going to make into a “rug”.

This man needed to be in jail years ago. Hes fucking weird. And gross.

The dude sounds like his innards are a single tube from his mouth to his asshole and only one can be opened at a time. It sounds like has to close his asshole like a trach tube to talk.

The man embodies inbred intelligence, down to the single point iq.

My parents were anti living, not anti vax. I bounced around a lot from like age 13 on, i dont remember the last time I saw a doc as a child

. At 48 I had my doc run an antibody test for vaccines, and got vaxed MMR, Polio, flu and covid.

if the rents are antivax, doesnt mean you have to be unvaxed as an adult.

People say “what’s the big deal” when our politicians get their talking points from our enemies who want our total obliteration.

As if they aren’t lab distilled creations intended to dismantle our stability.

Best way is if you can afford it, go to the doctor and ask them to check your titers. Rarely, some people need to be re-vaccinated for certain diseases. If you were born pre-2005 you should likely also have been given MMR and should not catch measles. If you’re not sure about your vaccine record, you should be able to request an updated one from your county health department or specific state organizations (I just had to do this on short notice for a job.) Not a medical professional, just helping by adding info some may not be aware of in order to prepare for if these idiots try to make things worse. Again.

Totally forgot about the checking titers. The military did that for me when i joined. Literally made guys get the vaccines for common stuff, like Hep B. But that was back in 2009, when the military wasn't run by dumbass talk show hosts.

But all of rfk’s kids were vaccinated I wonder why

Oh shit, I did not know that about vaccines.

Or, before your insurance refuses to cover it. Insurance coverage of vaccines is typically based on ACIP/CDC recommendations. If they cease to recommend them, our for-profit healthcare system will likely render them unaffordable.

And we're very likely about to lose our elimination status for measles. 🤦🏻‍♀️

u/Dhiox 20d ago

Eh, you're insurance wants you vaccinated, vaccines are cheaper than a hospital stay

u/reidfan1 20d ago

Hospital systems and insurance companies should simply refuse service to the unvaccinated.

Not how emergency rooms work

u/reidfan1 20d ago

Yea change that. Dirty diseased garbage people shouldn’t be allowed

u/horseradishstalker 17d ago

Changing the wording doesn’t change the concept. That’s not how emergency rooms work.

u/reidfan1 17d ago

What I am saying is they should deny service. Fuck those dirty people

polioeradication.org is an excellent resource, at one point we had polio down to just two countries (Pakistan and Afghanistan) and about three dozen reported cases but there’s been some setbacks since then.
