I grew up in Boston in the 30s and 40s-——when I was in school the only vaccine available was smallpox,which was mandatory.
My family was quarantined in 1944 because my brother had scarlet fever———sign posted on the front door for all to see.
Fear of polio every single summer.
I can’t believe that people would want to go back to that.

Apparently some do. Sad.
