PLEASE CONSIDER THIS:
History can be instructive. It's late spring in 1941. I lived with my parents, brother and sister in a small house in the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota. My sister got the measles. She later gave it to our brother and then on to me. The health department came with warning signs that were tacked to our front door. As summer dawned my brother developed Whooping Cough, later passed on to his siblings. Then in July, my little sister contracted Mumps. It too progressed from sister to her two brothers. And the front door was festooned with more epidemic warning signs from health officials. All summer we watched our neighborhood friends playing outside while we sat at upstairs windows. It was a terrible lost period of our youth. Today, there are vaccines, proven effective after careful development and study. Vaccines are saving the lives of people all over the world. But you have to allow them. Consult your physicians. Follow their advice. Protect yourselves,your children and your community.
