Yep, had this conversation with 80+ y.o. Dad, where he told me what a God-send the polio vaccine was and how it changed everything for them when it became available. I agreed, but there's this whole that-was-then-this-is now thing going on. I explained that this issue is not at all like polio. He asked if my teen daughter would get vaxxed and I explained about the unknowns and reminded him about thalidomide. To which he replied, Wow, I never thought about hat.

Dr. Salk was not a murderer so the Salk Polio vaccine was different.
Great point to mention thalidomide.
