The trouble is, a lot of children used to die from childhood diseases. My own father almost died of diphtheria when he was a baby when the mucus plug this illness causes blocked his windpipe. His father had to hold him up by his feet and beat on his back until the plug came out. Could this have worked with a 10 year old? In the 1920s, over 200,000 people, mostly children, died of diphtheria. Measles is another killer, it turns off the immune system. Roald Dahl's daughter died at age 12 of measles. Whooping cough kills 35% of children under 5 who get it. What's the answer, ditch all vaccines and hope your child doesn't die when they get whooping cough or diphtheria, or maybe work out a way to make vaccines safer?
