Was the polio vaccine has polarizing as the covid vaccines?

You start threads every day. More or less subtle, they are all vaccine-pushing threads. And you still can't manage to get one thread title without spelling mistakes...

MRNA isn't a vaccine. It contains no live or dead organism. Stop calling it that.

Twitter went crazy about it in 1954.

I assume the polio vaccine roll-out was just as polarizing; after all it is immutable human nature to hate a scientific advance that might well save your own child's life.

There’s massive difference between someone with the sniffles for a week and someone confined to a wheelchair for life. What do you think!

There have been nutjobs and conspiracy theorists doing the same thing since the smallpox vaccine.

Some things never change.

It was universally accepted by just about everybody that Polio was a scourge.

People were terrified of it because of the awful things that it could do to you(paralysis, shriveled limbs, etc.)

People were generally not as susceptible or beholden to conspiracy theories back then, they

didn't think that the government was intentionally trying to kill you or implant microchips

in your skin to track what you did.

That being said, the "rollout" of it was rocky to say the least. There were two "competing" vaccines, the "Sabin" and the "Salk". The Sabin used "live" virus, and the Salk used inactivated virus. However, some of the "early adopters" of the Sabin vaccine ended up becoming infecting people with Polio. The Sabin was the one that was eventually settled upon, however, because it could be administered orally via a sugar cube as opposed to an injection.

I got my "sugar cube" in 1961, and had no ill effects, but there were some unfortunate people who did end up contracting polio from this vaccine. It was not without "controversy", but again at the time Polio was so feared that I think most people were willing to accept the risk of a vaccine.

Here's the problem, I hate vaccines and I hate personal liberties. It should be government mandated prison time if you take the jab.

polio f&cks you up big time

covid gives you the sniffles

No, those mRNA vaccines are still vaccines, you nimrod.

You are a liar. I got covid I think once and I didn't have any symptoms. You are spreading left wing hate.

Oh, looks like we have one from the shallow end of the gene pool. COVID doesn't give you the sniffles. COVID kills people and maims people. You are very dumb.

The other day Chris Wallace said he remembers when the polio vaccine came out everyone was extremely happy to get it.

The era of "internet experts" is a new thing. In today's world you can find conspiracy theories and basement experts in seconds. In the old days, you trusted actual experts who dedicated 20, 30, 40 years of their life to the field. Not some guy who flunked out of a liberal arts degree in his basement having a podcast.

Actually, polio only killed 3,500 people a year (at its peak) and averaged 15,000 cases per year prior to the vaccine. Yes, polio paralyzes almost half the people it infects, but covid killed 650k in 1.5 years. That 1.5 years is exponentially more than the history of all polio deaths combined.

I'm a young guy born in the 90s. I remember getting some vaccines as a kid to be able to go to school, or something like that. When the polio vaccine came out, were people worried about it to the same degree as the covid vaccines? What made the rollout of the polio vaccine such a success? What has made this one different?

Trolls welcome to chime in too.

You should research the history of the polio vaccine. It look well over 20 years to develop a safe and effective polio vaccine. These COVID “vaccines” were researched for less than a year. The clinical trial process is long for a reason, even today. You cannot determine long term safety and efficacy in that short period of time. Name one other drug or vaccine has ever been given Emergency Use Authorization or FDA Approval in less than a year from the start of Phase I human clinical trials?

I'm an ignoramus when it comes to this stuff. Although I've read that we've already been developing something for SARS for a while now...anyway I don't buy that crap either. Main stream media china lies.

The Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University estimated that in December, 2020, the very month the mRNA shots started to be administered, the Covid infection fatality rate was 3 deaths per 1,000 people infected.

The last 18 months have been the greatest exhibit of mass hysteria in history. At this point, Covid is slightly above the level of a bad flu season.

I'll pass on the shots, Thank You. Lots of people in other countries want the shots. They can have mine.

I think I've gotten the answers I was looking for. Polio was a real disease unlike liberal hoax covid sniffles. Case closed.

Covid mostly killed old, very sick people. No need to keep going full Harambe wid da stats.

I don't know if I have had Covid19 OG variant or Delta Variant or whatever? Don't worry too much neither.
