Hey - I was one of those cases in 1962. I was only 3 years old, but I remember laying on the couch in our living room, being really sick, and the doctor coming to the house to see me.
Thank goodness my older kids just had to go through the chicken pox. That had a vaccine by the time the youngest came along so he got to miss that.
What about all those unvaccinated, can’t-call-them-illegal immigrants? Are we vaccinating them in these holding centers or or we just going to set up stations at the border?
Stop illegal immigration and the Measles outbreaks as well as other contagious infections will dramatically drop in number.
I remember having it back in 1951. Bad stuff! I remember going to the doctor in Clayton NM at that time, an another in Springer as we lived half way between.
I may have also developed Scarlet Fever or something else that gave me a bad heart valve which was replaced in 1990.
I still have my military vaccination record book showing I have been vaccinated for plague.
Wonder what would have happened if the persons who found the vial of Variola (smallpox)last year had instead decided to open it to wee what the liquid was. Shades of THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN!
