As much as I despise the turtle, I don't like to make fun of someone who had polio.

I grew up on the cusp of the discovery of the Sauk vaccine. I was born in 1948, and it was approved in 1955. I did not have a single classroom where there was not at least one kid affected by this illness.

We received the vaccine when we were small. Later, we had the oral vaccine.

Thank God.
