I often wonder how much anti-vax parents know about history? Have they ever spoken to people who were alive before the vaccines came out about their experiences? Have they ever researched or looked into the history of childhood illness in the last century or so? Because I think about the stories I've heard as someone involved in both local history and genealogical work, and can't help but think that at least some of the anti-vaccination crowd might feel a bit differently if they ever heard these same sad tales. :'(
And I always wonder if the anti-vaxx parents were vaccinated themselves. Because if they were, and they're here to tell the tale, then their vaccines didn't harm them, most likely helped them, and they were vaccinated with less science behind the shots than we have now.
