The Salk vaccine became available in February 1954. Obviously mass production and vaccination was years away. But a vaccine took 20+ years to develop. The frustration I have is that we have the technology to prevent so many diseases but people are uneducated about basic biology and fight the science

RFK Jr is dangerous & has to be removed from office. My mother survived polio at 6 yrs. She talked about how horrific it was. 6 weeks alone in a hospital, watching other kids die, listening to iron lung, enduring scalding hot towel treatments that left burns. That was 1953. Vaccines save lives.

Complete sentences have a subject and a predicate. There is a noun and a verb followed by who, what, where, why and how. We have the noun Lara Trump, we have the verb put, we have the who Charlemagne but not the where. Donald gets a C- on his 3rd grade English test.
