You and I probably agree dalereed, that childhood diseases gave us strong immune systems and contribued to a long illness-free life.

Not true of your peers who died young or were crippled by polio.

Sure, Polio was a dreaded fear back then. I was grateful for the polio vaccine by the time I had children of my own. There are some vaccines that have been a good thing, but I wonder about what will happen in later life for kids who have multiple baccines. Will the protection last a lifetime? Will elderly people start turning up with measles, mumps, whooping cough just when the government is planning on refusing medical care to those old codgers?
