Geoff O’Brien had to wear metal callipers to support his legs and also wore plaster casts at night until he was 12 years old. More than 65 years later he is still suffering from post-polio symptoms and says high vaccination rates eradicated the disease.
“People in their 30s, 40s, whatever, just don’t understand what it’s like to go through an epidemic … people were in a panic state in the early ‘50s, keeping children out of school, out of swimming pools,” he told Sky News. “It’s the same as it is today but as I say if it weren’t for the polio vaccine we’d be in dire straits.”

I think he should just, get over it.
Cause taking a bio weapon to destroy humanity is a problem
Was the polio vaccine fully tested? Well I definitely know the COVID vaccine will get its full safety data in 2024. Should we trust it? I think not.
This ain’t polio 🤦♂️
Who gives a shit?
I’m old enough to remember the Cutter debacle. I’ll wait for the testing to be completed.
Poor comparison, completely different disease!! Just playing on public emotion to coerce them into taking something experimental and unapproved
Issue isnt Vaccines its how rushed this one has been and the outcomes will not be known for decades
'One of these things is not like the other' Piss Off.
This 'survivor' also seems to equate vaccines of the past with the anti-covid version, which are entirely different types of vaccines. We're not all that bovine.
Let him be furious. We don't owe him anything. Polio is spread by the fecal-oral route. Wash your hands, no vaccination needed.

Officials continue to investigate Qld COVID transmission | Sky News AustraliaInvestigations are continuing into how a woman caught coronavirus in Brisbane with experts arguing the transmission probably occurred via a quarantine worker at the hotel where she was isolating.\n\nThe woman has the Alpha variant of the virus and genomic sequencing has confirmed she has the same strain as another person staying at the same hotel.\n\nHowever, authorities are puzzled because the woman was on a different flight into Australia and was staying on a different floor of the hotel to the other positive case.

Morrison government focused on 'rolling each other': Albanese | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese says the Morrison government has shown how “self-indulgent” it is after Michael McCormack was rolled as leader of the Nationals.\n\nBarnaby Joyce defeated incumbent leader and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack in a secret ballot on Monday after his long-time ally Senator Matt Canavan called for a spill motion.\n\nMr Albanese said the Morrison government had two priorities this year; the vaccine rollout and fixing hotel quarantine.\n\n“Instead of rolling out the vaccine to the Australian people, they’ve just concentrated on rolling each other,” he told reporters at Parliament House on Monday.\n\nMr Albanese said the “rolling” of Mr McCormack represents the sixth combination of prime minister and deputy and was a clear “vote of no confidence” in this government.\n\n“The fact is, if you want to end this circus, it’s time to end this government,” he said. 'Self-indulgent' is wasting Question Time not once but TWICE by showing the world WHY you sit on the Opposition Benches. lookatme tantrumtime Albo is going to get rolled by Shorten in a few months Almost 11 years ago ... TO THE DAY! How quickly we forget.😎

Barnaby Joyce has 'strong convictions' and 'few qualms' about expressing them | Sky News AustraliaBarnaby Joyce has always been a “distinctive” politician with strong convictions and “few qualms” about expressing them, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. \n\nOn Monday, Mr Joyce defeated Michael McCormack after a spill motion was called in the Nationals Party room.\n\nBarnaby Joyce is set to be sworn in on Tuesday as Australia's deputy prime minister. \n\nOusted Nationals leader Michael McCormack gave Barnaby Joyce his best wishes and said he respected the decision made by the party.\n\nMs Credlin said Mr Joyce has “managed to keep his authenticity and his common touch, despite being in parliament for over 15 years”. \n\n“Barnaby's challenge will be to re-establish the Nats as a strong voice for regional Australia, without too obviously rocking the boat inside the Morrison government.\n\n“It won't be easy. He'll have to bruise a few left-leaning Liberals, sure, but that's actually a good thing. Some in the Coalition could do with a timely reminder of what Liberals actually stand for, and what the base wants to see from its elected MPs”. \n Faint praise indeed😸 You deserve a gong PETA brilliant observation. “Strong convictions” yes who could forget when he opposed the cancer vaccine for girls, because he thought it might encourage promiscuity. That didn’t age well.

'We must call out the continuing authoritarian streak of our leaders': Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australians must call out the 'continuing authoritarian streak' of the country's leaders and the sense they set one rule for themselves and another for everyone else.\n\nMr Kenny said those who have endured the 'suffering' restrictions have imposed on them found it hard to 'stomach' PM Scott Morrison visiting the graves of his ancestors in his trip to the G7 - something they 'don't get to do anymore'.\n\n'I think Morrison would have been better off either sharing all this with the media at the time, or not doing it,' Mr Kenny said.\n\n'Still, he is not the main culprit on this stuff ... the real problems are the state premiers, all of them except Gladys Berejiklian in NSW.\n\n'And one of the worst has been Annastacia Palaszczuk in Queensland, who along with her Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young, has refused a stack of people looking for humanitarian exemptions for funerals and to visit loved ones and the like.\n\n'They seem to have only made exemptions for movie stars and sports stars.\n\nMr Kenny also said the Queensland premier's government not allowing an exemption for fully vaccinated US couple Mark Kilian and his wife Anneli to visit the state to say goodbye to Mark's dying father was 'heartless' and disproportionate.\n\n'This sort of heartlessness is hard to comprehend. It fails to consider risk in a proportionate way.\n\n'Yet we know that the Queensland Premier herself bent the rules to get a Pfizer vaccine, in case she can go to the Tokyo Olympics in a few weeks – talk about one rule for them and another for us.' Says Ruperts sphincter The bowling ball's buddy just got back from allegedly tracing his family in the UK. Enough said! Are you serious? How the fck do you exclude Gladys Berejiklian and that other peanut John Barilaro as not authoritarian? Have you not heard of what happened to friendlyjordies. Love them or hate them this is the CCP type authoritarianism we are seeing in HK
