Small Things Count

This video really brings back memories. The pain. The confusion because doctors didn’t know much, if anything, about polio. The scare in society that kept this 3-year-old isolated because people feared getting it from me, the fear my parents experienced, and the iron lung (my parents told me there were too few of them to meet the need and, since I was going to die anyway, they wouldn’t give me one—I’m 78 and still here). Now what scares me is the anti-vaxxers who refuse to give their kids the polio vaccine that ended the epidemic and almost eradicated polio (cases are increasing). I hope this video is seen by them and a million others. I will be putting it on my blog and my two Twitters (I refuse to call it X!). Thanks for sending it out.
