Ending Polio
| Behind the anti-vaccination movement |
Minda Dentler is the first woman handcyclist to complete the Kona Ironman. She is a polio survivor and recently made her views on vaccination clear in an article in the May 2015 edition of the EndPolioNow Newsletter.She says "If not for the anti-vaccination movement, preventable diseases wouldn’t be a risk to children in developed countries". She also makes the excellent point that these 'anti-vaxxers' send exactly the wrong message to parents in other countries that are trying to overcome the scourge of these diseases. So the question is: where did this 'anti-vaccination movement' come from?
