This is a follow-up to a thread from yesterday: Europe, especially France, hit by measles outbreak (vaccinations down)

Interesting thread. Thanks. I'm reminded of my experiences in Third World countries; particularly as a boy first witnessing the ravages of diseases such as small pox, and polio. The blindness, scars, paralytics dragging themselves through the streets were commonplace. I recall my father's words as he patiently explained how such things came to be, and accordingly developed an early appreciation for the advances in medical science.

The photo section there is a real opener for those too young to remember the scourge of childhood polio.
