Definitely true. I was responding more to the part where he said

"do you believe the state should be allowed to make it mandatory for your children to have vaccinations if they are to attend school or is that a violation of your freedoms as parents?"

I'm not as good at quoting since I haven't been on PaRD in... months? Maybe longer. Hope you're all doing well

...clueless as ever . I remember the last victims of the polio epidemic and the iron lung .

...peachy keen here , I hope you are prospering in the big city

Smallpox is the first major disease to have been wiped out by public-health measures

Was it mandatory ?

That's a very strange way to describe paralysis..

Polio and smallpox vaccination was mandatory or not ?

In some parts of the world yes.

well, i won't decide for the rest of the world, i am not totally closed to the idea of making mandatory vaccination but i still don't see valuable reasons to force parents to vaccinate the kids, in my country.

Polio and small pox cant live outside a human meaning once its gone its gone no known animal or plants known to be carriers


The only current samples of small pox and polio are in some cdc lab

I know in the late 90's i got the polio vaccine due to mandated vaccinations required to enter the united states

Included mmr etc etc.

As far as mandated i dont think so but the second a safe polio vaccine was created 99% of the population went and got it

During Microbiology we spent sometime on this.

But yah the list of symptoms a giant troll or something ??

You mean other than preventing children from getting debilitating and potentially lethal diseases?
