As polio was certainly a bad disease that crippled many a person, I was some of the last to get the vaccination. I have had mumps, chicken pox, shingles, measles and whatever my older brother brought home from school. I thank God that my kids didn't have to suffer through these diseases . Many a person lost their lives to these diseases. It is a risk to take any vaccine and I lost my Grandfather to the swine flu vaccine as it caused a heart attack and he died at 76. But it is a minimal risk. My children all were vaccinated. There will come a time when this stuff comes back and viruses mutate. Open borders and middle easterners coming in increase our risk.
