Vaccinations

I'm pro-vaccination. Vaccinations were one of the most significant advances in public health in the 20th century, as the availability of clean drinking water was in the 19th century.

I am pro-vac also, but I believe the dates in the meme's above should be 1890 and 1888. I don't remember many measles deaths or cases of polio while I was growing up.

Some people in the FSU don't believe in vaccinations. Most people don't want vaccinations thinking something won't happen to them which is true. If I remember correctly, only one diseases Smallpox has been 100% eradicated.

Some people? Ukraine is about to have an epidemic due to the lack of vaccinations. Only about 50% of the children and young adults in country are vaccinated at the moment. They are sliding back into the Dark Ages with diseases that have been previously eliminated ready to resurface.

The dates are right - the deaths just didn't happen in your neighbourhood.

It will be interesting to see what happens. My prediction, it will depend on the health of the children - if they are fed the sort of diets that the 27-33yo FSUW of my acquaintance have, they will have strong immune systems.  Of course I don't know how much of the general population, eats as healthily as those FSUW.
