that's the thing tho - they don't find it horrific. show them a cemetary full of dead victorian children and they either shrug or say "things are different now," not connecting the dots that the vaccines are WHY it's different. the mental gymnastics are just.... >_<

Mental, isn't it. Folk in those days would have given anything to save their children. Yes some of the diseases are treatable with antibiotics, but the risk of resistance is a whole other nightmare.

One thing I didn't know about measles is that it wipes the 'memory' of antibodies, leaving you open to catching sth you've had before and recovered from.
