I had to make a video appt. Pfft.

I need to know - if vaccines are no longer mandatory for kids entering school or for pandemics and spreading infectious disease - do I need things such as Hep B and/or a polio booster?

We had these as kids (polio, measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough) but that shit is going to be spreading again. How do the sane people who vaccinate their kids and believe in vaccines protect themselves? Were the vaccines we got as children intended to last a lifetime? What about elderly people exposed to that crap from people's kids?

???
