You know, even after the very first vaccines, we still had a lot of stuff out there that would reek havoc given a body to infest.
As I said before, I clearly remember going to a friends house who was sick with the mumps, or measles, chicken pox, and intentionally given an hour of play time so as to become myself infected. And yeah that sounds barbaric, but I was in a well to do, both parents were scientists and educators, family and that was the game plan.
When I asked my mom decades later about it she said it was one of the scariest things she ever had to do as a parent. Knowing full on that she could be killing her child, and yet also believing that it was the right thing to do so as to prevent me for the consequences of those diseases later in life.
Without vaccines we're screwed. And now, maybe, the world will stop having any patiences for those that say otherwise. Or, conversely, maybe natural selection is working overtime to balance that sheet.
