Well kids, we're coming full circle back to our parent's time. Polio is back, at least in the poorest and most overcrowded of nations.
My father has a mark on his neck from where my grandfather gave him an emergency tracheotomy in the back seat of the family car using a pocket knife on their way to the hospital because my dad couldn't breathe. And that's what a mild-ish form of polio can do to you, cause you to suffocate. I don't know if I've got it in me to cut into my child. I suppose I could if I have to but I really don't want to find out.
No word from the Jenny McCarthyites on whether they look forward to polio outbreaks within our borders due to their stupidity.
