Did I miss some?

The goobers are counting all the shots in a series to make it seem more dramatic. Counting three doses of Hep B as “three shots” vs “one inoculation” and so on vs saying that kids are vaccinated against 15 or so different diseases.

Take a trip through any cemetery of age, antivaxxers, and maybe wonder why you get so hung up on a few shots vs your kids dying from preventable disease. Maybe we should undo the sewage treatment plants next? Typhoid, diphtheria and maybe even cholera?! Yeah!! PrO lIfE![/quote]

Finally, someone mentioned the real cause of decline in childhood diseases: sanitation! Combined with greater food availability this is where life expectancy really improved. Vaccines have just tried to take credit for what sanitation and nutrition really did.

If you doubt this, try and explain Scarlet Fever, which has no vaccine and used to kill thousands a year.[/quote]

Yeah, nutrition and sanitation improvements didn't ward off polio. Or smallpox.

Scarlet fever develops from a bacterial infection, the same that causes strep throat which I can assure you is very much alive and well in the world. Bacteria are different from viruses like polio and smallpox. Most vaccines are against viruses. bacterial infections are treated by antibiotics. Scarlet fever is no longer common primarily because of antibiotics given to people who have strep throat.

I really really hope you didn't major in science or are in med school. Yikes.[/quote]

The text-book answer to this question is that Scarlet Fever has evolved to be less deadly. If this explanation has any truth, an interesting corollary is if the lack of vaccine had anything to do with this evolutionary path.

Given the trends in anti-biotic resistance, let's hope your explanation is incorrect. [/quote]

Holy crap you are literally too dumb to understand this discussion. [/quote]
But soon they can move to Kontana where it seems they will be able to avoid the scourge of vaccination (and antibiotics for strep, I guess). 🫢[/quote]
