About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

There are far too many great films made from the 1900s. IMO - I don’t see many films during the current times that compare in quality or imagination. My thought is this is due to studios, quick to push out global profit product - less story, more physical output that translate to global audiences.
