With families choosing to skip their children's vaccinations, the following mostly historical diseases all had entries in the last month's disease outbreak updates: measles, mumps, pertussis, and polio. I've often wondered if non-vaxxers would actually forego rabies immunization post exposure. Then I saw this and had to wonder what kind of mental illness has parents willingly risking their children so.

And Do Not forget, all these diseases can be caught by adults, with Very dire consequences vs. the kid's versions!
Many of us who got vaccines 60 or more years ago may be at risk because of "ancient"
Ma ufacturing/transporting processes, long-time weakening of effectiveness (nobody really knows) or just weakened resistance due to other physical problems, like diabetes or heart disease. Not to mention, what fun a bunch of deformed babies will be after Germanmeasles goes around!
