Well, here's the reality.

If I get a serious injury, deep puncture wound, right, and I go to the hospital, they clean it.

And I'm done right there.

Cleaning it is the end of it.

But let's say they failed to clean it well.

They always offer you a tetanus vaccine anyway right there, even if you had one a year ago.

There's never a circumstance where they don't try to get you to take a tetanus vaccine.

So tetanus is the beautiful vaccine you can take at the time of the injury.

You don't have to take it prophylactically.

Five injections to little babies.

Little babies.

You don't have to do that.

So each one of these vaccines, each one of these is a different product.

And so polio.

By the way, as I head down the polio rabbit hole for a second, I want to say it is another one of these sacred cows, right?

Because everybody says you don't want polio coming back.

But here's the reality of polio.

Right from the CDC website, 99% of people who get polio never have any symptoms.

The typical symptom, you had Humphreys on, so you know some of that.

The typical symptom is having cold for a week, having sniffles.
