Vaccines tell a success story that RFK Jr. & Trump forget: Some key reminders https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/072924_vaccine_successes/vaccines-tell-success-story-that-rfk-jr-trump-forget-some-key-reminders/
Vaccinations have provided significant protection for the public against infectious diseases, but there was a decrease in support in 2023 nationwide for vaccine requirements for children to attend public schools, and top political candidates are among those critical of childhood vaccination.

@clearwater53 @TucsonSentinel .
My grandma was born in 1906. She knew two kids in her tiny, rural Iowa schoolhouse that were deafened by measles. She became a nurse, and then a hospital admin during WWII because the men were drafted. She retired as Director of Admissions in the late 1960s. All those years, and the day she couldn't forget was when they came in with polio vaccines. Her colleagues were weeping for joy. Feck the antivaxxers.
@MHowell @TucsonSentinel My paternal GP born in 1899 &1906 lost two children in infancy. This is part of the AGAIN the MAGA cult and anti-vaxers wish for us.
@TucsonSentinel A visit to any of the early settler cemeteries around here shows what these anti-vax morons want to bring back. Whole families of children wiped out within days of each other, sometimes along with parent or parents, from disease now preventable. Sanitation improvement and vaccines save lives.
