@TheSeattleTimes @seattle-news-TheSeattleTimes they will be responsible for the next #epidemic and the resurgence of #polio in this country

One of the copy-and-paste #antivax talking points is that #polio was caused by #DDT. For everyone repeating this vile lie:

My grandmother was a polio survivor. She caught the disease in childhood, before DDT was in use as a pesticide. When I was a small child, she could walk, sort of, with crutches. By the time I was in high school, she was wheelchair-bound, as she would be for the rest of her life.

Consider this an engraved, gold-plated, personally delivered invitation to go fuck yourselves.

🧒 The world is closer than ever to ending #polio — but the last stretch is the hardest. Conflict, blocked access and a $2.3B funding gap are leaving children unreached in northern Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan. @[email protected] @[email protected] #PolioEradication #GlobalHealth #WHA79 📖⬇️ & 🔁🙏

The world is in the last stretch of polio eradication, but closing this gap will require political commitment, the World Health Organization (WHO) told member

Flossie Rogers: A Story of Polio, Resilience, and Nursing Compassion

In June 1957, Flossie Rogers, a young woman affected by polio, experienced a small yet profound moment of dignity and hope when a nurse held up a mirror so she could see her own reflection.

My wife's friend is a nurse in Philadelphia.

Last week, they had a child with polio in there that lost mobility, and the parents were angry at the health care workers not doing enough to help their child

The parents are well educated and middle class anti vaxers.

Just imagine that, in 2026, in united States.

My mother would have been shocked if she was alive to hear that there are parents today, refusing to vaccinate their children against polio.
Unbelievable.

Update: I checked the image and verified that it's not AI, but some mastodon detectives say otherwise.
