You are getting sick and tired? At 82 I grew up at a time when people GOT SICK AND DIED! I started school in 1939 when the common diseases had names people today have NEVER heard about. Hardly a school year passed without one classmate or another sickening and dying.
There was a terrible saying people used when speaking of other couples, “They had 3 children THAT LIVED.” That’s right, there was a time when it was tragic, but not unusual for all too many families to have lost a child.
Ever see a picture of a hospital ward consisting of a dozen or more children in Iron Lungs? That, bak then was the norm. Today virtually an total unknown, along with others.

The babies aren’t dying from those dreaded diseases now, they ARE dying from the immunizations that are supposed to protect them.

My 14 month old Grandson is one of those Angel Babies. He died 12/6/2016 so I know all about “those” families.

My 83 year old Mother felt the same way you do until she had a personal experience that caused her to wake up and realize the very thing that was supposed to “protect” the baby contributed to his death.

The risk is NOT worth the reward when your loss is 100%.

I hear you. Just walk around an old graveyard and your eyes will be opened to life as it was before modern medicine.

What Would Happen If We Stopped Vaccinations?

Before the middle of the last century, diseases like whooping cough, polio, measles, Haemophilus influenzae, and rubella struck hundreds of thousands of infants, children and adults in the U.S.. Thousands died every year from them. As vaccines were developed and became widely used, rates of these diseases declined until today most of them are nearly gone from our country.

Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year. Today, most doctors have never seen a case of measles.
More than 15,000 Americans died from diphtheria in 1921, before there was a vaccine. Only two cases of diphtheria have been reported to CDC between 2004 and 2014.
An epidemic of rubella (German measles) in 1964-65 infected 12½ million Americans, killed 2,000 babies, and caused 11,000 miscarriages. Since 2012, 15 cases of rubella were reported to CDC.

That may be true, but they were not dying from mumps, measles, chicken pox, hepatitis, ect. Even whooping cough deaths were rare.
Most kids died from infections, since antibiotics were not widely available until the late 40’s.

In fact, the number one killer was flu/pneumonia followed by TB.

So, please don’t act like all your classmates were dropping like flies due to polio or other childhood diseases.
