    Don't feel bad. We have typhus and bubonic plague in California.

    I'm more worried about the rising cases of people being infected with HIV. Many don't even know they carry it.

    Polio at least has known and counter effective measures for it.

    they're two different fruits.

    2019 na. Bopol ka na lang pag mahawa ka pa ng hiv.

    Abstain.
    And stick to one.
    Use condom.
    Don't share needles. Tatoos included.

    Only children were given the vaccine during the who-doh vaccination campaign. It is possible that an adult contracted polio overseas and did not develop symptoms, came home within the infectious stage time frame, then passed it on. Baka umebak sa ilog (picnic-picnic kasi kakauwi lang from abroad) then the victim was exposed to the contaminated water. Malas niya kasama siya sa 5% na nagdedevelop ng symptoms after contracting the virus. And sa 1% na deadly ang symptoms.

    most probably hindi nga polio iyong mga nakikkita mo since 3 dysfunctional countries na lang , according to the who, ang currently may infected citizens (pakistan, nigeria, and afghanistan) .... ngayon 4 na kasama tayo. ergo, dysfunctional na din tayo

    Kainis talaga. Kung di ka papatayin sa tokhang or sa gutom, papatayin ka sa sakit.

    Goo lakihan niyo pa ang intel fund ng Malacanang.

    many times, we do something, with a specific objective in mind.
    it sometimes boggles the mind... when another, un-anticipated effect comes into play, as a result of our activity.

    kulang sa health&science education

    kung ikaw edukado kang tao alam mo those old childhood vaccines work

    MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)

    POLIO

    DPT (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)

    those vaccines have been proven safe and they work (you got healthy parents/grandparents/great grandparents as proof)

    ung Dengvaxia bago lang

    ung inability to distinguish, ung generalizing all vaccines -- that's more lack of education than anything else

    Lack of education + fear mongering on vaccines

    the government?

    DepEd

    DepEd's failure became DOH's problem
