2. K&R. And also those from the 1800s who died as children from diseases they would have survived today

We all were required to be vaccinated against numerous diseases when we were babies and young kids. I can even remember getting a couple of vaccinations as a kid in school, everyone did, it was not controversial.

3. That and antibiotics. My uncle had pneumonia for 9 months in the preantibiotic days. n/t

4. What hard lives people had to live. Imagine the mothers losing so many

children. How hard.

5. In the generation before mine, lots of families had more than 6 kids,

and they were lucky if half of them lived to adulthood.

9. My mother always mentioned it because I had had pneumonia

twice in high schools. Both times it was over in a month, because of penicillin.

11. Same here.

My Dad had a brother and sister who died in the 1920s. But I know it was not pneumonia. I think chicken pox.

6. A pox on the house on the person...

who made masks controversial and who did the same for the vaccinations of COVID. It's like making the removal of the appendix or gall stones a Democratic or Republican issue.

Yes, it was Republicans. It's a shame!

7. My mother had 8 siblings -- only she and two of her siblings lived through a yellow fever

epidemic. This was in the 1920's in Canada.
