MANILA - The Philippines is preparing to vaccinate millions of children against polio to halt an outbreak of a disease it believed to have been eradicated two decades ago, a top official said on Friday.
“The polio vaccinations happen all year round, but our coverage dropped for the past five years,” Rolando Enrique Domingo, an undersecretary of the Department of Health, told Reuters. The Philippines has faced a challenge recently in convincing parents to vaccinate children after it scrapped a dengue immunization program using Sanofi’s Dengvaxia in late 2017, following its linkage to child deaths.

Anti-vaccine protesters are likening themselves to civil rights activistsA group of mostly white protesters opposed to childhood vaccine mandates — many from affluent coastal areas — insisted that their plight is comparable to what African Americans have suffered from segregationist policies The one on the right reminds me of Emmett Till. Stop it! Why don't they pool their money and by a remote commune where they can provide their own food, their own education, completely isolate themselves from the rest of society. They can avoid vaccination all they want, let's see what happens in the long run.

'We Shall Overcome': California anti-vaccine activists claim civil rights mantleIn California, protesters opposed to childhood vaccine mandates are insisting that their plight is comparable to what African Americans have suffered from segregationist policies And so idiots did abound as slavery does not equate to stupidity. Not even close. I cant even... This is one of the dangers of living in a privileged nation. People never lived through the polio epidemics, the Spanish flu, the plague, variola, diphtheria and measles, so they are more scared of some theoretical SEs than the actual death from disease.
