Reply To: Vaccinations are bad?

In the very late 1950’s and early 1960’s when the polio vaccines first became widely available, parents would take their children to mass vaccinations at high schools, parks, community centers, etc., to get the vaccination (by hypodermic syringe at first, later by the much-preferred sugar cube.) At that time, with the memories fresh from the 1952 polio epidemic, no mother was debating the wisdom of having a child immunized.
