>(obviously this would be different if there was an epidemic with a decent chance of getting to me)

the reason there is no such epidemic is because people get vaccinated against polio.

Exactly. Many diseases that have been nearly eradicated are now making a comeback, because there are enough people not vaccinating their kids. Sure, there might be no epidemic going on at the moment, but all it needs is one person catching the disease from somewhere else and there you go.

Yep, if we had attitudes like the OP's and the anti-vaxxers, we'd still have bloody smallpox lurking around. And for all it is extinct, if they offered me a smallpox vaccine then I'd still take it. Never reject a vaccine.

I've been vaccinated against Smallpox - got the scar on my arm to prove it. Apparently, I was vaccinated in one of the last years before it was discontinued (yes, I'm older than you). Now I can time-travel with impunity - at least when it comes to Smallpox.

DA

....uh. Pretty sure polio has been eradicated due to proper water sanitation. This is why only Third World countries still vaccinate for it, from what I can tell. (I've never had the polio shot, but both of my parents have the circular scar.)

I'm not going to claim that I remember any relevant statistics, so this may well be true! If so, my apologies, I've messed up.

But the general point stands, of course.

Water sanitation helps, but you can't guarantee a public swimming pool will be free of fecal matter because frankly, with little kids it never is. So yeah, vaccines played a huge role.

... Didn't know Norway was a Third World Country.

Still do it in UK schools too as far as I know.

It was vaccination that did Polio in. Water sanitation helped but the vaccine really turned the tide.

Actually, they have found a vaccine resistant polio strain. I was just reading about it the other day.
