So vaccinating for viruses is sketchy at best, and frankly I don't know what the big deal is about childhood diseases. Chicken pox, mumps and both measles all ran through my school. Nobody died and no one suffered lasting effects. On the other hand, lasting effects from the childhood vaccinations are awful: Life-threatening allergies, asthma, autism, ADHD, Asperger's and SIDS, and nobody in my school had any of these things. Heck, we even got served peanut butter sandwiches every other week, and now with all the life-threatening peanut allergies that's off the menu.
We are supposed to have childhood diseases because it keeps society in a state of real herd immunity. And those childhood diseases are actually beneficial. For example, having measles in childhood helps protect against cancer later in life. And it's not deadly unless you have a severe vitamin A deffeciency, which we would only find in very malnourished children in poor countries. It's amazing they've made people afraid of these things.

Growing up in school, the only allergy I can remember anyone having was to chocolate.

Ignorance is bliss?
"Ignorance is strength"....
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery ... good book, maybe he should called it "Welcome to Clown World" though I think he made that point well enough.
