You are lucky to not contract polio. Many mothers are foresaking vaccinations because they think it does more harm than good. Again, there's that human condition, Pride, they think they know better then all those that suffered before them. The guy who traveled to Greece and back with the virulent drug resistent Tuberculosis, he travelled because he thought he knew better and didn't give a shit about anyone else but himself. Another person afflicted with pride. These are just simple examples in both male and female variants.
Mythical Amazons. Warring tribes exist, even in matriachal societies and tribes that did exist in the real world.
