[QUOTE="Non liberal, post: 5061539, member: 94513"] Well actually the reason for all those diseases disappearing can be refuted. I won’t get into all of them, but polio for example used to get really bad in the cities, like New York when kids would be playing outside before we had the miracle of indoor plumbing. Low and behold, indoor plumbing arrived and polio cases started to decline and then the “miracle” polio vaccine came about and cases declined down to practically nothing. But they were already coming down, and the vaccine got all the credit. Measles used to be a right of passage in young children when their bodies were best designed to handle it and was very seldom deadly. There’s even a Brady bunch show where they all catch measles and it’s a big nothing burger where the kids get 3 days off school and ice cream treats while they’re sick. The problem with measles comes when you get it when you’re older. A lot of these disease had a lower kill rate then covid with the exception of smallpox and at least where I work the covid death rate is very low. Maybe one in the whole building who had other pre existing conditions. [/QUOTE]
