Have we forgotten polio wards?
Children in iron lungs.
Vaccines stopped this. Questioning them risks bringing it back.
How does this Make America Healthy? We should all be terrified.

Missed first vaccines make babies far more likely to miss measles shot, study finds
Babies who don’t get their first round of vaccines on time at 2 months of age are much less likely to get vaccinated against measles, mumps, and rubella by age 2, a new study finds.
