Took Offspring the Third for a physical this week. Bless the child, he has grown ginormous, and is now 6 feet 1.5 inches tall. Astonishing to think that once upon a time, Herself carried him everywhere in a baby sling or a toddler backpack. For years.
In the doctor's waiting room was the sign depicted below. In case it is too wee to be read, it says:
In 1952 there were over 21,000 Americans that needed this device 24 hrs/7 days a week just to stay alive. If you don't know why this child was encased in this metal monster, you can thank vaccines for that. This clinic does not support non-vaccination without a legitimate medical reason. The USA is starting to have deaths from diseases we have not seen in 30-40 years due to unreasonable non-vaccination of children. Who wants to return to this??
There are few things about which my opinion is thoroughly fixed and -- short of dramatic new scientific evidence -- unchangeable. The benefits of vaccination is one such thing. DO IT, PEOPLES.
Thank you, clinic, for protecting both my Offspring and the offspring of others through supporting vaccination.
The Iron Lung. A magnificent invention.
