This chick in the Pregnant in Heels preview is killing me.

"I don't believe in immunizations" ok, fine. but then she goes on to say "Who do you know that has Polio?" As if this is the great cornerstone of her argument. ::head desk::

It's funny (because she's so stupid) and SO sad  (b/c she's pregnant and this stupid) all at the same time.

My uncle had polio. He's lucky he didn't die. In reality, it isn't really that many generations away from us and could come back if people aren't careful.

And sad because she thinks she is making some grand, insightful point. And it is all captured on film  for all time.

I wish every anti-immunization argument was that easy. "Why I have two aunts with polio. And I have family members who have survived pertussis, german measles, mumps, rubella and more.  I believe in infectious disease."

Polio is one of those diseases that affects you for the rest of your life.  Even if you survive the initial infection with limited disability, it comes back to haunt you as you get older.

Yes and I have to stop listening because it pisses me off so much.

My uncle had back surgery, so his spine is fussed and it has a curve, so he can't stand completely straight. He kind of tilts to one side, but he was very lucky. Some of the kids in his town who had Polio ended up in wheel chairs and some of them died.

My grandma had it. She escaped fairly untouched, but the older she gets the more it is coming back to haunt her.

My aunt had it too, she was in the hotspots for months and one of her legs is shorter than the other. She's not old either, only in her sixties.

My uncle did as well.
