[QUOTE="donna723, post: 649017, member: 1883"] I know what you mean, Mutt. I've been doing a lot of family tree research on Ancestry and some of it is just heartbreaking. Just a few generations back, almost every family had lost a child to those diseases that are so easily preventable now. My own grandmother started out as the third of five children. But when she was five, her seven year old sister and year old brother died of diphtheria. Can you even imagine?? It was so common back then that few families escaped the loss of at least one of their children. This doesn't happen now because we have the way to immunize our children against these diseases. People who choose not to immunize their children are playing with fire, not just for their own children but society at large. It's not just measles that could make a comeback if people choose not to immunize their chilldren. Yes, we have antibiotics now, but do people really want to take that chance? [/QUOTE]
