1/ New thread, from the old thread (below). What do you think the average denialist or antivaxxer would have made of polio today, if it came in a 'new' epidemic form (like it did from @ 1890)? The excuses to do absolutely nothing would come thick & fast.
2/ Taxes for a big global eradication? You know as well as I do what the usual denialists & antivaxxers would say.
"But it's always been around! It's everywhere! It's *endemic*!"
And you know what? They would have been right, even though wrong as excuse

3/ Universal vaccinations? Every denialist would scream, "But #polio only kills very few!"
And that was absolutely right, especially before 1920. Polio killed very very few. It crippled many more, but still "only a few".
Do you think the denialists really care about children?
