"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1960s and 1950s. After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure of what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone."

Years & years ago I tried to say all that to a group of anti-vax Facebook “friends” of my daughter, and my reward was to be blocked from my daughter’s Facebook access.

(Things are much better between us these days — but I notice I am still blocked)

...how much unscientific BS catapults into the mainstream through un-Social Media every second.

It is literally how Drumpf gained power and holds on to power today.

Why anyone would listen to this bloviating fraud is beyond me.

Meanwhile serious research and it's attendant real world results are dismissed as "the deep state" or "elitism".

The power of branding and propaganda in a gullible world...

Inoculation for smallpox wa%developed in China in the 16th century and adopted by the Turks by the late 17th. Smallpox carries 30% death rate. Inoculation carried about a 3% death rate.

Some of the early vaccines worked better and some didn't. Here is a timeline, but alas, no notes on which ones worked:

When penicillin was finally available. .

Ampicillin came into use in 1961 and was even better than penicillin.

Smallpox was totally eradicated in 1980 but it’s scary that US. & Russia bio labs still have strains.
