@norman_5623 Arthur C. Clarke died of post-polio syndrome, many years after contracting polio.

Still need a couple of "childhood vaccines" that are recommended and finish off my hepatitis B series, as that immunity has waned and the vaccine's required for a biologic I'm currently on. And my primary ran out, of course... :/ Scuttlebutt is that RFK Jr wants to pull a bunch of vaccines, so soon, we'll be back to burying babies again.

@FrozEnbyWolf150-b9t actually, it's more common an injury source in diving if one isn't paying close attention to one's mixture in deep diving. Less so in medical, although I did start to get nasal burns once from high rate O2 via nasal cannula in the hospital once. Had them humidify it, which lessened the issues until I could come off of it.

@pamelawing5747 we got the OPV (oral polio vaccine, which is what the sugar cube one was) in school as well. Once. Shortly after, it was abandoned outside of epidemic zones, as reassortment was discovered, where the live attenuated virus could reactivate. After that, they only used killed virus vaccines. Smallpox wasn't destroyed for a more pragmatic reason. The Russians have samples and were weaponizing it for a possible biological weapon and they still retain samples and the US and Russia still retain the only viable smallpox samples on the planet. How that RFK Jr is in charge overall, suffice it to say that I awaken with some really bad dreams on occasion.
