In November, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that exemptions for immunizations required in school is the highest ever recorded in U.S. history.
Only when enough of these ant-vaxxers lose children to these diseases will they reverse course. Then they will blame the experts again for not warning them. I have a 2 yo great-nephew and I shudder to think of him getting some disease that we were close to wiping out. Are there no people left alive that remember polio?
On May 2, 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had located and killed Osama Bin Laden. The agency organised a fake hepatitis vaccination campaign in Abottabad, Pakistan, in a bid to obtain DNA from the children of Bin Laden, to confirm the presence of the family in a compound and sanction the rollout of a risky and extensive operation. Release of this information has had a disastrous effect on worldwide eradication of infectious diseases, especially polio.
You’re too optimistic. Anti-vaxxers can and do still blame everyone and everything else before changing their minds. Only select few will have the awareness to change. People were literally on their deathbeds dying of covid still cursing the doctors who were supposedly killing them. The children and other people they spread to, they don’t deserve to die. But I have no patience left for contrarian wilful assholes, they deserve(d) their deaths.

They absolutely won’t. This is a group of people willing to put their kids through ‘treatments’ like chelation, HBOT and bleach enemas to get rid of ‘the toxins’ and kids have died from some of these alternative treatments. All that their own kids dying guarantees is a spot as a parent-martyr on some antivaxx podcast and a handshake from Jenny McCarthy.
The interesting thing about polio, is if I understand it right, it’s very similar to covid in terms of what a non serious case looks like in additon to asymptomatic people. It would easily be brushed off as not serious.
If Polio killed people like covid, and didn’t give the public the chance to see the damage it does with all these paralyzed people on the streets, I don’t know if we’d ever have a chance of stopping it.
It’s hard to argue with kids in wheelchairs vs deaths of people you don’t know.

Polio still circulates in Afghanistan and Pakistan

Why not just vaccinate them for real if you were doing this.
You can still get the DNA and have an ulterior motive and also not 100% trash any credibility, you’d still trash it but nowhere near as bad.

Bold of you assume that there will be enough dead children to change their minds. See also: guns.
Didn’t you know? If you get polio, it means God is punishing you for your lack of faith.
