Diseases Declines 90% BEFORE Vaccines Were Introduced
Diseases Declines 90% BEFORE Vaccines Were Introduced
Polio peaked in the U.S. in the year 1952, with 57,879 cases. Once the vaccine became widely available in 1955, this figure dropped to 29,000 cases. So, to claim that polio cases were dropping significantly before this point is incorrect.
Why is this post being down voted? I'm just curious as to what the reason might be.
People think the poster is agreeing with the image
Because its a stupid post. Lets assume its entirely factual for a minute. The decline in contracting a disease is entirely unrelated to the purpose of a vaccine.
Vaccines are primarily for preventing severe and deadly outcomes once a pathogen has been contracted. They have a side benefit of reducing the spread and helping secure herd immunity prior to an outbreak. But thats not the primary reason they're a great thing.
The image itself in its wording and presentation is implying that vaccines are basically useless and not needed. Its clearly antivax propaganda by people who dont understand shit.
I forgot to vaccinate against downvotes
