you need to look up Paul Alexander. He was actually employed, graduated college, became a lawyer and a writer, would attend court in a special wheelchair when defending his clients. he didn't just exist, he really did live.

Incredible technology, but I’d rather just die than spend my life in one of these.

My grandfather lived in an iron lung from ages 9-11 he was incredibly small for his age for many years. Still going strong today ❤ Love you, Pop ❤️❤️

reading comments of people preferring to outright die over living in these really tells me that people like Paul were real tough cookies to live in these machines.

i worked in a memory care senior living for about a year, i had a patient who had polio in her left leg and foot and even though her dementia, she still remembers how scary it was to have it and he come into her room while praying and thanking the lord she didn't have to live in an iron lung, that is so surreal to me

😢 rest in peace, Mr. Alexander 2024 🥺😭😭😭

[stranger_guy]

There is a huge difference between living a life and just alive

[FireKidVR]

Can’t lie I would rather die then live in his thing

[Hawkpelt]

VACCINES saved MILLIONS of people from this fate.

Ah I see the algorithm is preparing us mentally for the polio epidemic of 2026

[HaruNg]

That why babies need polio vaccines, people thinking vaccines are harmful for babies are who wants their kids to could become like this.

[Kinkamo]

just let me die dawg. i don't wanna spend my whole life in a metal tube

[TheJeeJoo]

Death or just staying alive in this machine?
Me: death!

Reminder that R.F.Kennedy's lawyer has requested the FDA revoke the Polio vaccine, so we might be needing more of these

[oliviaocasain]

I didn't get Polio today. Thanks vaccines!

[Scarguy]

The sheer will to just live that these people had was insane id just give up if i had to live in one

[legobuildingsrewiew]

theyre not meant to be permanent. they get you through the bad part of the disease until function is restored

[LonrtaGigante]

Really excited for these to make a huge comeback in the next few years!

[masteridiot]

Jeez, this shows up on my feed as soon as I find out RFK is pushing for rescinding FDA approval for the Polio vaccine. 😢
