I bring up some of these a lot. I went to the same school, with all the same kids, from grade 1 through grade 9. Most of us went to kindergarten together as well.
The same 6 special needs kids, all those years. Never a new addition, so to say.
Virtually unheard of peanut allergies until my generation ( gen X ) started having kids. Same with autism / downs. Our generation was really targeted with hot dogs, cheese slices and cheese whiz, look at the cereals we used to eat. I've always believed it's been in the food. Didn't hurt us directly, but messed up our genes that we pass on. Funnily enough, I've heard Gen X is the healthiest.
Gen X, most of us ( in Canada anyway ) only had to get 5 or 6 vaxxes our first few years. Isn't it 30 or something now in the first 2 years?
I never took anti-vaxxers seriously (back when it was centered around Jenna McCarthy especially) until I learned that kids just five years younger than I had been getting almost 10x more shots than I ever had. I looked over my childhood vax records and everything fit on like a third of a page.
