Polio and iron lungs ... and kids wearing leg braces ...
yup, I remember.
My husband’s grandmother survived polio as a child but then it returned as progressive weakness in old age. It was like her system was worn out from compensating all those years.
One of my great aunts died of diptheria.
I remember having the mumps as a toddler. It was one of the most painful things I ever experienced. Hubs was sick for a couple of weeks when he got chicken pox.
We would not wish those illnesses on anybody. And they are avoidable.

The sad thing is that we have today a bunch of child-minded adults that benefitted from vaccines but now want to claim vaccines should be withheld from everyone else’s children.
