29. A great anniversary in the history of public health. My mom was a nurse during the polio pandemic,
the iron lung days. Said it was horrible. When we came along, she left the ward. Wouldn't take the risk and had a hard time avoiding thoughts of us in the iron lungs. A good move on her part. We were vaccinated at the first availability.

That said, it's unfortunate that this blogger 'celebrates' the anniversary by including snarky slams on people who's opinions he ought to be able to discredit on the facts alone. Tacky move, imho.
