Sixty-four years ago, residents of this tiny town in southwestern Kansas set a public health example by making it the first in the nation to be fully inoculated against polio.
It’s a different story today.
Today, some in the town of about 400 people insist that the federal government “invented” the coronavirus so that it could force people to take a vaccine containing a microchip that could track their movements, [72-year-old farmer and Protection resident Steve] Herd says.
In 1957, Herd says, “We didn’t have people who believed such crazy stuff.”
