An inspiring man, Paul Alexander.

A few things stand out: that , when first recovering from polio, every time he made a new friend they died, the air conditioning engineer inspired to design the iron lung having witnessed the suffering of polio victims and, above all else, the reckless irresponsibility of the anti-vaccine movement. |  |

Incredible read, if hard at times. To think what he's put up with through pretty much his whole life and still succeeded at so many things despite the suffering is incredibly inspiring. But as you say, it also highlights the dangers of the anti vaxxer movement.
Speaking of which, there's an interesting longish read on the BBC website too about the Coronavirus 5G and hoax conspiracy morons https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-52731624
