Terrific piece...thanks for posting it.

The incredible irony in all of this is that so many of the anti-vaxxers, given they now have children, were likely vaccinated as children. So, they have neither experienced the diseases nor seen the ravages of the diseases that their parents witnessed. One of the readers, an M. Morris, said it best:

“Having spent the last 20 years living in Vietnam where vaccination against childhood diseases only became widely available in the last 15 - 20 years, I have met so many adults living with the consequences of polio, measles, and meningitis. Metal body braces, limb braces, partial or full blindness, deafness, paralysis, reduced mental capacity, dramatic skin scarring... these diseases have haunted so many lives, long after their resolution. And the after-effects are still visible on a daily basis. Perhaps this is why parents are so diligent in vaccinating their children.”
