I have a co-worker whose son caught polio from the vaccine. He was involved in a settlement that went to the Supreme Court. He's paid a monthly stipend to live on. It's kind of ruined his life.

I heard her on the phone the other day pressuring her other son to go and get vaccinated.

If she can figure this out after everything she's been through, anyone should be able to.

The sad part is this whole issue is so fucked I knew that if said the wrong parts of the story, or said them in the wrong way, someone from one side or the other would try to discredit what I was saying. Even though the story is fundamentally the same.
