“Joni Mitchell, who didn’t have a choice whether to take the vaccine because it didn’t exist when she was exposed, contracted polio at age 9. She writes: ‘If [polio] eats the muscles of the heart, it kills you; if it eats the muscles that control the flexing of your lungs, you end up in an iron lung; if it eats the muscle of your leg, it withers.’ She began to sing and write songs while in the hospital for polio in her spine. Mitchell has had post-polio syndrome for the past 30 years. That’s a long time to suffer for a decision somebody else made for you.”
