I’m sure dysentery and cholera were real fun …

Was Jonas Salk feeling whimsical when he invented a cure for polio? Most people my age had a school friend crippled by it.

Just finished a great fantasy novel, “The House of Open Wounds” by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s like cross between M*A*S*H and LOTR. Various magical outcasts are drafted to act as healers for a heartless Empire.

But, vaccines are a hoax! Madam Curie used them to put nanobot implants in our heads so that the New World Order could control us with Jewish space lasers. It’s on the internet, so I know it’s true!

Considering my great-grandfather died of typhus, leaving my great-grandmother seven months pregnant, I’ll go with Marcie. I can see echoes of that disaster down to the present generation.

I’m thinking that if magic worked it could cure typhus, end world hunger, protect us from reality tv and Shonda Rimes,…

We may get back to that. There’s been at least one outbreak (measles) due to removing vaccine requirements and some idiot state is longer mandating polio vaccines.
