Sometimes you don't know what you've lost till its gone. Maybe this is what we need. An environment of kids dying of whooping cough and TB. measles, the lot. As a person who has studied death certificates from the 30s I can say it was a nightmare for kids, anything pre vaccine was.
Visiting my grandfather (b. 1892), was a farmer type person, who had very strict habits of cleanliness. Vaccine issues are hidden by debate. Make critics look stupid, so corporate interests can hide behind partisan politics. NOTHING is actual in public interests, under Neoliberalism.
And brother don't get me started on corporate manipulation of both our economy and society, especially not along the lines of talking about neoliberalism. I would make a thread 35 messages long 🙃
Being born in 1892 would have been the worst in terms of disease. You live during a time where people are full well and aware of germs, but can do little about it except be really clean. That is what killed beards. Fear that it spread TB. Your Pap came up during that whole anti-beard Tb campaign.
